4月22日（路透社）——据《华尔街日报》周三援引知情人士消息报道，特朗普政府已接近达成一项救助陷入困境的低成本航空公司精神航空的协议。
根据该报道，美国政府将向精神航空提供最高5亿美元贷款，以换取获得该航空公司潜在股权的认股权证。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二对CNBC表示，他希望有人收购精神航空，并表示联邦政府有可能介入，这是特朗普政府干预上市公司的最新案例。

在美国和以色列对伊朗发动袭击导致霍尔木兹海峡航线中断后，全球航空公司正面临航空燃油价格飙升的困境。精神航空曾表示，计划将机队规模缩减至破产前的三分之一左右，到2026年第三季度保留约76至80架飞机。
根据其3月份披露的信息，该航空公司的复苏计划基于2026年航空燃油均价约每加仑2.24美元、2027年均价2.14美元的假设。但到4月中旬，航空燃油价格已达到每加仑约4.24美元，大约是其预测中假设水平的两倍。
白宫发言人库什·德赛表示，特朗普政府一直在持续监控美国航空业的局势和整体健康状况。

德赛补充道，如果拜登政府没有阻止精神航空与捷蓝航空（JBLU.O）的合并，精神航空的“财务基础将稳固得多”。
联合航空首席执行官斯科特·柯比也在财报电话会议上发表了看法，称他不确定政府为精神航空提供的救助计划结果会如何。
柯比称精神航空的商业模式存在根本性缺陷，称其无法维持运营或覆盖现金运营成本。
以其亮黄色全空客机队而闻名的精神航空，其品牌定位为为精打细算的旅行者提供实惠票价，这些旅客愿意放弃托运行李和选座等附加服务。
精神航空拒绝对此事置评，但表示其运营一切正常。

April 22 (Reuters) – The Trump administration has neared a deal to rescue embattled low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The U.S. government will lend Spirit as much as $500 million in exchange for warrants to take a potential stake in the carrier, according to the report.

U.S. President Donald Trump told CNBC on Tuesday that he would like someone to acquire Spirit and said it was possible that the federal government could get involved, the latest example of the Trump administration’s intervention in public companies.

Global carriers are contending with surging jet fuel prices after U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Spirit has said it plans to shrink its fleet to about one‑third of its pre‑bankruptcy size, retaining roughly 76 to 80 aircraft by the third quarter of 2026.
The carrier built its turnaround plan based on fuel costs averaging about $2.24 per gallon in 2026 and $2.14 in 2027, according to its March disclosures. By mid-April, jet fuel prices were around $4.24 a gallon, roughly double the level assumed in its projections.
White House spokesperson Kush Desai said the Trump administration continues to monitor the situation and overall health of the U.S. aviation industry.

Desai added that Spirit would have a “much firmer financial footing” had the Biden administration not blocked its merger with JetBlue (JBLU.O), opens new tab.
United Airlines’ CEO Scott Kirby too chimed in on a post-earnings call and said that he was not sure about the outcome of the government’s bailout for Spirit.
Kirby called Spirit’s business model fundamentally flawed and said it was not going to be able to make it or cover cash operating costs.
Spirit, best known for its bright yellow all-Airbus fleet, built its brand around affordable fares for budget-conscious travelers ready to eschew add-ons such as checked bags and seat assignments.
Spirit declined to comment on the matter but said it was operating normally.
