Spirit Airlines, a budget carrier known for low fares, faces financial turmoil, filing for bankruptcy twice in a year. The Trump administration considers a $500 million bailout, potentially securing 90% ownership, to save 14,000 jobs. Critics, including Republicans, oppose the move, labeling it a step towards socialism and a waste of taxpayer money. Experts cite post-pandemic cost spikes and declining demand as factors. The White House blames the previous administration for blocking a JetBlue merger. Talks continue as they evaluate the best course of action.
