华盛顿4月24日电（路透社）—— 一位消息人士告诉路透社，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府正考虑以《国防生产法案》为法律依据，为精神航空提供纾困。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻（CBS News）周五率先报道了这一潜在计划，援引了解相关讨论的美国官员的话。

该消息人士表示，美国政府可援引《国防生产法案》第三章，该条款允许美国政府投资工业产能，以确保国防供应链的稳定。
白宫发言人库什·德赛表示，特朗普政府“仍在探索各种可行方案，以确保该航空公司能够继续为乘客和员工运营”。
他补充称，有关融资机制或结构的报道均属于猜测。
《国防生产法案》是一项紧急授权法案，允许美国政府要求私营企业优先承接联邦合同，并扩大关键商品的产量。该法案还允许为国防目的向私营企业提供贷款，这一措施可能为该航空公司提供支持。
特朗普周四曾表示，他的政府正考虑以“合适的价格”收购这家陷入困境的航空公司。
“当油价下跌时，我们将出售该公司以获取利润，”他在白宫对记者说道。
这家总部位于佛罗里达州的廉价航空公司正面临时间紧迫的局面。精神航空的一名律师周四表示，该公司需要在下周结束前获得新的融资或动用其现金储备，下周将举行一场法庭听证会，该公司及其债权人的律师将就破产退出计划达成协议。
精神航空的外部律师周四表示，特朗普政府已提出一项融资方案，以帮助该航空公司摆脱破产，目前其主要债权人正在审议该方案。
精神航空债权人的一名律师周四表示，他们已审查了政府融资方案的条款清单。消息人士称，该方案包括5亿美元融资，且附带一项条件：政府将获得相当于精神航空90%股权的认股权证。
这笔优先债务人持有融资将帮助精神航空摆脱自2025年以来的第二次破产重组。

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is considering using the Defense Production Act as the legal basis to bail out Spirit Airlines, a source told Reuters.
CBS News first reported the potential plan on Friday, citing U.S. officials familiar with the discussions.

The source said the government could invoke Title 3 of the Defense Production Act that allows the U.S. government to invest in industrial capacity to ensure supply chains for national defense.
The Trump administration “continues exploring possible options to ensure the airline remains in operation for its passengers and employees,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said.
He added reporting about the mechanism or structure of the financing should be regarded as speculation.
The Defense Production Act is an emergency authority that allows the U.S. government to require private companies to prioritize federal contracts and boost output of critical goods. It also permits loans to private firms for national defense purposes, a measure that may offer support to the airline.
Trump said on Thursday his administration was looking at buying the embattled airline at the “right price.”
“When the price of oil goes down, we would sell it for a profit,” he told reporters at the White House.
The Florida-based budget carrier is running short on time. A lawyer for Spirit said on Thursday it needs new financing or access to its cash by the end of next week, and a court hearing is set for next week as lawyers for the company and creditors aim to reach agreement on a bankruptcy exit plan.
The Trump administration has made a financing offer to help the airline exit bankruptcy that was being reviewed by its major creditors, an outside lawyer for Spirit said on Thursday.
A lawyer for Spirit creditors said on Thursday they had reviewed a term sheet of the government’s offer that sources say includes $500 million in financing and a condition the government receive warrants equal to 90% of Spirit’s equity.
The senior debtor-in-possession financing would help Spirit exit its second bankruptcy restructuring since 2025.
