据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获悉,精神航空正计划最快于周六停止运营,除非出现紧急干预措施。
此前,一笔5亿美元的政府援助方案谈判因债券持有人对条款反对而陷入停滞。
据熟悉相关谈判的消息人士透露,特朗普政府官员已被告知精神航空将在未来24小时内停止运营,白宫不会在最后时刻就救助方案采取额外行动。
但周五特朗普总统被问及是否救助精神航空时表示:“嗯,我想我们正在考虑。如果能行的话,我们会出手,但前提是这笔交易对我们有利。”
当时正从白宫前往佛罗里达州的特朗普对记者们说:“我希望保住这些工作岗位,但我们今天晚些时候会发布声明。我们已经向他们提交了最终方案。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道,该航空公司的可用现金仅够维持数天。
精神航空周五仍在正常运营,消息人士强调,航空公司目前的首要任务仍是安全完成所有航班。
这家已申请破产保护的航空公司发言人拒绝就正在进行的谈判置评,仅表示“精神航空将照常运营”。
精神航空在美国境内运营超过40个城市的航线,同时开通中美洲和南美洲的国际航线,其主要枢纽位于佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡-好莱坞国际机场。

Spirit Airlines is making plans to cease operations as soon as Saturday, barring last minute intervention, CBS News has learned.
Negotiations over a $500 million government aid package remained stalled after bondholders balked at the terms.
Trump administration officials have been told Spirit will be shutting down operations in the next 24 hours. There will be no last-minute administration effort regarding a bailout, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
But when President Trump was asked about a bailout for Spirit Airlines Friday, he said, “Well, I guess we’re looking at it. If we can do it, we’ll do it but only if it’s a good deal.”
The president, who was departing for Florida from the White House, told reporters, “I’d like to save the jobs, but we’ll have an announcement some time today. We gave them a final proposal.”
The airline’s available cash on hand was expected to last only a matter of days, CBS News previously reported.
Spirit continues normal operations Friday, and sources emphasize the airline’s focus remains on safely completing those flights.
A spokesperson for the bankrupt airline declined to comment on the ongoing discussions, saying only that “Spirit is operating as usual.”
Spirit serves more than 40 cities in the U.S. along with international destinations in Central and South America, and has its main hub at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida.
