Frontier Airlines makes an offer to Spirit Airlines

(CNN)– Frontier Airlines took another swing at joining forces with Spirit Airlines.

In a statement on Wednesday, Jan. 29, Frontier officials say a merger would allow Spirit to escape from bankruptcy.

Spirit is not interested and rejected the offer saying it was too low.

In 2022, Frontier and Spirit had planned to merge, but the deal died after JetBlue came in with a bigger offer for Spirit.

However that planned merger was blocked by a federal judge.

Spirit filed for bankruptcy late last year and has recently eliminated 200 positions.
