据多位知情的谈判消息人士透露，精神航空（Spirit Airlines）可用于运营的现金仅够维持数日，而非数周，而政府为这家低成本航空公司提供救助的谈判已经陷入停滞。
这家自2024年以来已两次申请破产、且因伊朗战争导致燃油价格上涨的航空公司，一直在寻求联邦政府的救助。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道，特朗普政府已提出向该航空公司提供援助，拟达成一项协议：政府向精神航空提供5亿美元贷款，以换取收购该公司90%股份的权利。
但这项将使政府成为优先债券持有人、即能比其他债权人更早获得偿付的协议，除非精神航空的债权人批准，否则无法生效。
消息人士称，部分精神航空的债券持有人仍对政府的救助方案持反对态度。
肯·格里芬（Ken Griffin）旗下的城堡投资集团（Citadel）曾提交反提案，但遭到了政府的拒绝。
两位美国官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，另外两家债权人——Ares管理公司（Ares Management Corp.）和赛勒斯资本管理公司（Cyrus Capital）也反对政府的救助计划。
根据周三提交的法庭文件，原定于周四举行的破产听证会已被推迟，文件中提到有关政府救助方案的谈判仍在继续。
上周，一场破产法庭听证会披露，精神航空未支付一笔利息，这可能导致该航空公司违反其与债权人达成的债务人持有资产协议。周四的法庭文件显示，债权人尚未发出将启动违约追责程序的通知。精神航空目前持有2.5亿美元现金，但该资产已被债权人设置留置权。
特朗普总统曾表示，他愿意“在价格合理的前提下”由政府接管精神航空，并称此举可以挽救数千个工作岗位，并告诉记者该航空公司拥有“一些优质飞机”和“一些优质资产”。截至2025年底，精神航空的大部分飞机均为租赁所得，今年该公司作为破产重组进程的一部分，已着手缩减机队规模。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻上周率先报道，特朗普政府正在考虑援引《国防生产法案》的紧急权力，向精神航空提供贷款。
届时，该航空公司的过剩运力将被用于军事行动，比如运送部队和物资。该公司在破产重组结束后，可能会被出售给另一家航空公司。
一位白宫官员表示：“特朗普政府将持续关注美国航空业的健康状况，并探索帮助旅客和航空公司员工的可行方案。”
精神航空的代表在周三并未立即回复哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的置评请求。

Spirit Airlines only has enough available cash to continue operations for a matter of days, not weeks, and talks for a government-backed rescue of the no-frills carrier have stalled, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.
Facing two bankruptcies since 2024 and rising fuel prices due to the Iran war, Spirit has sought a lifeline from the federal government.
The Trump administration has offered to come to the airline’s aid, weighing a deal in which the government would lend Spirit $500 million in exchange for the right to take control of 90% of the company, CBS News has previously reported.
But the deal — which would make the government the senior bondholder, meaning it would get paid back before others — won’t happen unless Spirit’s creditors sign off.
Some of Spirit bondholders continue to balk at a government deal, sources said.
Ken Griffin’s Citadel submitted a counterproposal, but it was rejected by the government.
Two other creditors — Ares Management Corp. and Cyrus Capital — are also opposed to the government plan, two U.S. officials told CBS News.
A bankruptcy hearing planned for Thursday was postponed, according to a Wednesday court filing that noted conversations on the government bailout package are continuing.
Last week, it was revealed in a bankruptcy court hearing that Spirit skipped an interest payment, which could put the airline in default on its debtor-in-possession agreement with creditors. The creditors have not delivered notice that they plan to enforce a default, according to a Thursday court filing. Spirit has $250 million in cash, but creditors have a lien on it.
President Trump has said he is open to a government takeover of Spirit “for the right price,” arguing the move could save thousands of jobs and telling reporters the airline has “some good aircraft” and “some good assets.” Spirit leased most of its planes as of the end of 2025, and has moved to shrink its fleet this year as part of a bankruptcy reorganization process.
The Trump administration is considering invoking the Defense Production Act’s emergency powers to extend a loan to Spirit, CBS News was first to report last week.
The airline’s excess capacity would then be used for military operations like transporting troops and cargo. The company would then likely be sold to another airline when it emerges from bankruptcy.
A White House official said: “The Trump administration continues to monitor the health of the American aviation industry and explore possible options to help passengers and airline employees.”
Representatives for Spirit Airlines didn’t immediately respond to CBS News’ request for comment Wednesday.
