Spirit Airlines postpones chapter 11 hearing to February

Spirit Airlines (OTC:SAVEQ), Inc. (NYSE:SAVE), currently trading at $0.34 per share with a market capitalization of $448 million, has announced the adjournment of a key Chapter 11 bankruptcy case hearing originally scheduled for January 29, 2025.

This delay follows Spirit's voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11, filed on November 18, 2024, for the company and its subsidiaries.
