It looks more likely struggling Spirit Airlines will enter bankruptcy protection.
It comes as a planned deal with Frontier Airlines has broken down.
This saw Spirit’s stock price plunge a massive 60%.
The Wall Street Journal reported Spirit Airlines is now in advanced talks over a bankruptcy filing.
A planned merger with JetBlue and Spirit Airlines worth about $3.8 billion was blocked earlier this year.
