AI Summary

Spirit Airlines (SAVE) is facing a cash shortage as its accessible funds are predicted to run out soon. A proposed government rescue package includes a $500 million loan, potentially giving the U.S. government a 90% stake in the airline. This plan would also allow the government to appoint a board member. The company has requested access to almost $240 million in restricted cash to continue operations, with discussions ongoing amid rising fuel prices complicating its financial recovery. Spirit has been in bankruptcy and requires urgent financing to avoid shutting down.
