M&A & RestructuringBanking & LiquidityTransportation & LogisticsTravel & LeisureLegal & Litigation

Spirit Airlines, already bankrupt, is in advanced talks with the federal government over terms of a significant financing package to support its restructuring. The development suggests the carrier still needs substantial liquidity, but no final agreement has been announced. The news is negative for Spirit's credit profile, though the potential government-backed funding could improve its near-term survival prospects.
