The announcement was made a short while ago. Rejection of Frontier leaves Spirit open to potential JetBlue acquisition. “While we are disappointed that we had to terminate our proposed merger with Frontier, we are proud of the dedicated work of our team members on the transaction over the past many months,” Ted Christie, Spirit’s chief executive, said in a statement. “Moving forward, the Spirit board of directors will continue our ongoing discussions with JetBlue as we pursue the best path forward for Spirit and our stockholders,” Frontier said it was disappointed that Spirit’s shareholders had not rallied behind the deal. The airline, which has aggressively expanded since going public last year, said it was poised for growth.
