Will Spirit Airlines bankruptcy affect services?
Spirit Airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2024 after long-term losses, failed attempts to merge, and maturity of its obligations.
Spirit previously announced pilot Farlow and capacity cuts, but the company was heavily affected by engine issues that have grounded many Airbus A320s across multiple airlines. However, the US Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York said it would be a “best of all” airlines to ensure that the company continues to pay its employees, vendors and partners, allowing airlines to continue flights to restructure their debts. “First Day” relief request has been approved.
Is it safe to fly?
Recent tragic airplane incidents – air collisions in Washington, air collisions between a passenger plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter that left 67 people dead. A medical Learjet crashed in Philadelphia and killed all six people on board the ship and one person on the ground. A US military service member and three contractors were killed in a plane crash in the Philippines. More than 100 passengers were evacuated when the wings of United Airlines planes on the runway set fire to light. The plane owned by Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe, crashed into a business jet, killing one person and injuring four others. Many travelers are concerned about flight safety.
However, flight remains statistically the safest form of transport, especially for commercial airlines in the US.
“All mode transport cases claimed 44,546 people living in 2022, all but 2,032 of which were related to motorway cars. Preliminary estimates for 2023 were the deaths. suggests a further decline in the 2024 Transport Statistics Report from the Bureau of Transport Statistics. “There were no major commercial airline crash deaths in 2023, but hundreds of people died in crash crashes in general, commuter, and air taxi services.”
