American Airlines has filed a notice of appearance in Spirit’s Chapter 11 case, asking the bankruptcy court to provide the carrier with all future documents and updates tied to the proceedings.
In the Friday filing, American asked to receive “any and all notices given or required to be given” in the case, including “orders, notices, hearing dates, applications, motions, petitions, requests, complaints, demands, replies, answers, schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of affairs, operating reports, plans of reorganization and liquidation, and disclosure statements.”
The notice states that this applies to materials delivered “by mail, hand delivery, telephone, electronic mail, or otherwise.”
The carrier’s filing also specifies that the request should not be interpreted as a waiver of its rights in the case.
An American spokesperson told Reuters the move is connected to an “airport-specific agreement” between the two carriers, without providing further details. In August, Spirit filed for bankruptcy for the second time in less than a year and has said it continues to evaluate restructuring options.
The ultra-low-cost carrier continues to warn about its ability to continue as a “going concern.” Last quarter, it reported a $317 million net loss.
