Spirit Airlines is running out of cash and urgently needs new funding or access to restricted cash within days to continue operations. The budget carrier is in advanced talks with the US government for a $500 million rescue package that could give the government up to a 90% ownership stake. Rising fuel costs and other operational challenges have complicated Spirit's plan to emerge from bankruptcy this year. The new financing aims to keep Spirit competitive and could lead to consolidation in the low-cost airline sector.
