CHICAGO (Reuters) – Spirit Airlines is looking at options to refinance its debt and is not considering restructuring, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The company’s shares have been falling since Tuesday on investor concerns about its financial future after a U.S. judge blocked its $3.8 billion merger with JetBlue Airways.
Ratings agency Fitch on Wednesday said Spirit’s credit profile was under pressure as it faced significant refinancing risk in the next year with its $1.1 billion loyalty program debt coming due in September 2025.
