JetBlue secured Spirit Airlines’ operating slots at New York’s LaGuardia, gaining rights for 12 daily round-trip flights through Spirit’s bankruptcy process. The transaction requires final court and regulatory approval, but it offers near-term capacity expansion leverage tied to a distressed-airline restructuring. Overall, the news is modestly positive for JBLU while approvals remain the key overhang.
