Based on the most helpful WSO content, Spirit Airlines has faced significant challenges in the past, including failed merger attempts and financial struggles. However, there is no explicit mention in the context of Spirit Airlines being on the brink of Chapter 7 bankruptcy or liquidation at this time.
If Spirit were to liquidate under Chapter 7, it is likely that customers holding tickets would lose the money spent, as ticket holders are considered unsecured creditors and are typically last in line to recover funds during liquidation proceedings. To mitigate this risk, you might consider purchasing travel insurance that covers airline bankruptcy or using a credit card that offers chargeback protection in such scenarios.
For now, Spirit Airlines is still operational, but if you're concerned about their financial stability, you might want to explore alternative airlines or ensure you have protections in place for your booking.
