A major airline carrier that many New Jersey residents use to travel is considering liquidation, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

Spirit Airlines is in the process of recovering from its second bankruptcy, but is now facing new challenges due to fuel costs, according to CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg first reported<\/a> on Wednesday that the Florida-based low-cost airline could liquidate in the coming days.<\/p>\n

In a statement to ABC News<\/a>, Spirit Airlines said the company “[does not] comment on market rumors and speculation.”<\/p>\n

Spirit Airlines flies out of Newark Liberty International Airport and Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey, according to their website<\/a>, though they also fly out of LaGuardia Airport in NY, which many New Jerseyans use as well.<\/p>\n

The airline is known for flying to several vacation destinations, including Myrtle Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Orlando.<\/p>\n

CNBC also reported that Spirit’s low-cost competitors recently added flights to some of its primary destinations, creating additional financial implications for the airline.<\/p>\n

The company has declared bankruptcy twice since 2024.<\/p>\n

In April, Spirit was given WalletHub’s “Best Airlines”<\/a> top ranking for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A major airline carrier that many New Jersey residents use to travel is considering liquidation, according to multiple…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":201482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-201481","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-staten-island","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-staten-island","12":"tag-staten-island-headlines","13":"tag-staten-island-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
