We don't know for sure if today is the last day for Spirit Airlines, but If it feels like it's been a long time since the U.S. lost an airline this way, it's because it has. The last major airline failure in this country was Independence Air in January 2006.

NEW from @CBSNews: Spirit Airlines has only enough available cash to continue operations for a matter of days, not weeks. Citadel submitted a counterproposal to Trump admin plan, but it was rejected by the govt. Two other creditors — Ares Management Corp. and Cyrus Capital — are also opposed to the govt plan, sources told @krisvancleave and me. cbsnews.com/news/talks-to-…
Kris Van Cleave@krisvancleave

.@SpiritAirlines talks continue. Sources tell @JenniferJJacobs and I two of the three Spirit creditor groups are on board with the government's offer of up to a $500M lifeline. The unsecured creditors and the revolving creditors are in. The bondholders have not yet committed.

Per ANZ: “This ancillary pricing isn’t set purely on exchange rates. For launch, ANZ has chosen a simple and consistent price point to introduce the new product and assess customer demand across markets.”

NEW: Air New Zealand tells me the cost for a four-hour session in its economy Skynest bunk bed is $495 *across currencies* at launch during the airline’s test and learn phase. Yes, that means US market will pay $495 USD while NZ market will pay in NZD (~$291 USD)

Polaris seats take ~3x the space of economy, but sell for ~8x the price. If demand stays strong, airlines will keep shifting space to premium. United’s new 787-9 config is launching SFO–SIN and SFO–LHR: 64 Polaris (8 Studio), 35 Prem Plus, 39 E+, 84 Economy seats

United has already started flying from the B gates though, so it’ll be a long trek to the existing lounge at A until the new one is ready

Seattle is getting a new United Club in late 2027. It’ll have the modern @united branding seen at newer lounges, and I have to admit it looks great. Here’s a rendering of what it will look like:
