Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc ( (FLYYQ) ) has provided an announcement.

On March 13, 2026, Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc. and its debtors signed a restructuring support agreement with a majority of their DIP lenders and certain secured noteholders, setting the framework for a Chapter 11 reorganization plan that will repay part of the DIP loans, grant lenders broad access to encumbered cash subject to minimum balance thresholds, and issue all of the equity in the reorganized company to Roll-Up DIP lenders and a small warrant stake to holders of prepetition secured notes. The proposed plan would also provide new exit financing, distribute sale proceeds from specified assets to DIP claimholders, cancel all general unsecured claims and wipe out existing common equity with no recovery, while a separate December 17, 2025 term sheet with engine maker IAE significantly cuts fleet obligations, delivers up to $140 million in maintenance credits, waives liquidated damages tied to large aircraft cancellations and supports Spirit’s shift to a smaller, more efficient fleet and materially lower operating costs.
