Spirit

At 3:00 AM on May 2nd, 2026, Spirit Airlines turned off the lights. The planes stopped. The gates went dark. The airline that carried 44 million Americans last year simply ceased to exist.

Private equity is already circling the wreckage. But before they lock it up — there is a narrow window for something that has never happened in commercial aviation. The passengers, the workers, and the communities Spirit served can take it back. Like the Green Bay Packers. Like WinCo Foods. Like us.
