Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American:FLYY) announced Tuesday it received notice from NYSE Regulation that its common stock will be delisted from the NYSE American exchange. According to a statement based on the company’s SEC filing, trading in the company’s common stock was suspended immediately.
NYSE Regulation’s decision follows Spirit Aviation Holdings’ disclosure on August 29, 2025, that it filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The exchange determined the company was no longer suitable for listing under Section 1003(c)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide.
NYSE American will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to officially delist the shares. The delisting will become effective ten days after the filing is made. Deregistration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will be effective 90 days after the Form 25 is filed, or sooner if the SEC determines.
Spirit Aviation Holdings stated it does not plan to appeal the delisting decision. As a result, the company’s common stock is expected to begin trading in the over-the-counter (OTC) market starting Wednesday.
The company noted in the filing that the OTC market is more limited than the NYSE American and may result in reduced liquidity and potentially lower trading prices for its shares. Spirit Aviation Holdings also cautioned that trading in its common stock during the Chapter 11 case is highly speculative and that holders of the stock could experience a significant or complete loss on their investment, depending on the bankruptcy proceedings’ outcome.
The company said the transition to the OTC market will not affect its business operations. This information is based on a press release statement contained in the company’s current SEC filing.
