Spirit takes a pass on JetBlue’s buyout offer

2 May 2022 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

The combined Spirit/JetBlue market map

Spirit Airlines sees a merger with JetBlue as unattainable. Not for lack of interest, mind you. JetBlue’s cash offer of $3.6 billion still stands. But doubts around the likelihood of regulatory approval have Spirit’s Board of Directors recommending that it continue to move forward with the previously planned Frontier merger instead. Assuming even that can get past regulators.

Allegiant, Viva Aerobus plan groundbreaking joint venture

1 December 2021 By Seth Miller 4 Comments

A theoretical take on the combined Allegiant/Viva Aerobus JV route map five years down the line

Allegiant sees significant potential carrying leisure travelers to Mexican resort destinations, but the cost – both real and relative to domestic expansion – is too high. Viva Aerobus wants to expand deeper into the US leisure segment, but its prior attempts mostly failed. Together, however, the two believe they can become a strong player in the transborder market, commanding a double digit share.

Why does JetBlue care what happens to its slots in Mexico City as it pulls out of that market next month? Turns out competition among airlines is a good thing, and the carrier just might have its eye on another prize some 5,500 miles away.
