Reports over the past two weeks have indicated that American ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines might be in the middle of new talks regarding yet another merger, with its latest failed attempt to join forces with JetBlue still fresh in the market’s memory. Just months after the Department of Justice formally struck down JetBlue’s nearly $4 billion purchase of Spirit Airline in March, the carrier has reportedly entered talks with rival ultra-low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines to begin exploring the possibility of yet another merger.
