Viral video shows a dozen people throwing hands during chaotic scenes at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in the Georgia capital on Wednesday. The passengers can be seen punching and kicking each other close to what appeared to be the Spirit Airlines departure gates at one of the airport terminals.

While the word "bankruptcy" brings to mind images of shuttered gates and liquidation (and that is indeed what happened to a number of low-cost airlines this year), filing for Chapter 11 protection is actually a way to keep the company going and reorganize finances amid rising debt. For example, Scandinavian Airlines, the Copenhagen-based airline commonly known as SAS, filed for bankruptcy in February 2022 amid a drop in traveler numbers during the pandemic. However, it was able to officially emerge from it after ownership was redivided ownership between several local investment firms, the Danish government, and Air France-KLM AFRAF. Major...

A Spirit Airlines plane was raked with gunfire and hit multiple times as it was trying to land in Haiti Monday — leaving at least one flight attendant wounded. The ordeal unfolded at the Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, the Miami Herald reported, citing sources. The flight attendant was grazed by a bullet when the gunfire erupted. Multiple bullet holes could be seen in the overhead bins and a plane door in the aftermath, footage obtained by local outlet Media Libre Haiti showed. The plane, which was en route from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., had to be diverted to an...

Two southern California women say they were removed from a Spirit Airlines flight last week for wearing crop tops. A flight attendant instructed the friends to disembark their New Orleans-bound flight before the plane could depart from Los Angeles international airport, they told a local news station. The friends, Tara Kehidi and Teresa Araujo, were wearing sweaters when they boarded the plane, but removed them because the air conditioning was not functioning. “We were wearing crop tops ... just like a little bit of stomach showing,” Kehidi told the ABC news affiliate KABC. When a male flight attendant told her...

Once again, the Biden Administration made a brilliant move. By disapproving the JetBlue/Spirit Airlines merger, consumers will suffer and jobs will be lost.Spirit met with creditors today to discuss the terms of a bankruptcy. If they go bankrupt (a virtual certainty now), the jobs at Spirit will be lost. Also, there will be less competition with one less airline out there; hence, airline ticket prices will go up.A merger was the only way Spirit could have survived. Thank you Biden Administration.

A Spirit Airlines passenger managed to track down her stolen luggage after it vanished when she arrived at a Florida airport — using one of the stolen items to aid in her desperate search. Paola Garcia had been waiting for her small pink hardshell luggage, containing several Apple products like her personal MacBook and two Apple Watches, at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport’s carousel after returning home to the Sunshine State, Local 10 reported. The exact timing of the incident remains unclear, but Garcia’s desperation to find her stolen property led her to the apparent culprit’s house even before local...

Spirit Airlines Inc. is losing its chief financial officer to another troubled company — Hertz Global Holdings Inc. — as the carrier works to restructure a crushing debt load and the car rental company reboots after a failed bet on electric vehicles. Hertz is rebuilding after acquiring a fleet of mostly Tesla EV models that renters didn’t want and that cost more to repair than the company anticipated. Hertz also has been hurt by plummeting values for the EVs it bought after Tesla cut prices, resulting in higher-than-expected first-quarter losses of $392 million.

UPDATE 9:41 AM PT -- The Maryland Transportation Authority tells TMZ ... officers responded to the incident late Tuesday afternoon upon receiving reports of the fight.

A woman was treated to an asphalt sandwich by an Atlanta police officer after prancing onto the tarmac and then trying to outrun the frustrated cop. Excessive force? Perhaps. But trespassing on an airport ramp is a serious offense. Cop Takes Down Runaway Woman As She Sprints Past Spirit Airlines Plane At Atlanta Airport We don’t know quite why or how the woman got onto the ramp, but we can observe several things based on a pair of videos captured by ground staff: * She’s talking to cops, then decides to skip away before breaking into a run * She...

Keyonne says he left his carry-on bag at the Spirit gate counter on February 19. He was headed back to Los Angeles from his uncle's funeral in New Orleans, that's when he got in a disagreement with the agent over doing a gate check of his large suitcase. “She said that I'd have to reschedule my flight instead of doing a gate check, and I knew that was not true because of my travels with my nonprofit.” He asked for a manager and paid an extra fee to take it on the plane, but he forgot his small carry on...

Unlike other airlines which are federal contractors and subject to stricter rules when it comes to their employees’ decisions to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or not, Spirit Airlines will give employees an option to get regular COVID-19 tests—though employees will need to agree to one of the two policies. In an email Friday, CEO Ted christie told staff that if they wanted to avoid the upcoming federal vaccine mandates for larger private companies, that they would need to get their vaccines soon, though testing would be an option when the mandate went into effect. “The federal government has made it...

Indeed, the shocking footage features the mystery mischief maker walking nonchalantly through the terminal of an unnamed airport while sporting skimpy olive green swimwear and toting a backpack. However, while her itsy bitsy, teenie weenie airport attire may have left little to the imagination, she was still wearing a face mask in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration mandates, the Insta account — one of many posting the peculiar peccadillos of frequent flyers — observed. The Transportation Security announced in August that flyers who break mask mandates can be fined from $250 to $1,500. Meanwhile, when reached by The Post for...

Three black women got into a brawl with a so far unknown person.

Video below: Twitter LinkThe guy that the woman elbowed is a former ex-navy and his wife took to Twitter to explain that this behavior belongs to the zoo. She wrote: do i have to say it? “what difference at this point does it make?” i’ll say it. we are living in...

Shocking new video footage shows a Jewish family with a special needs child being removed from a Spirit airlines flight because their 2-year old daughter wasn’t wearing a mask while eating. Joe Biden must be incredibly proud. “What did I do?” asked the mother. “I told you, if you’re not in compliance, you have to get off,” the flight attendant said sternly. “What did we do?,” the husband asked again. “Non-compliance with the mask,” the attendant replied. “We’re wearing masks!” both parents replied. “She’s not wearing a mask,” said the angry attendant as she pointed to the young girl.

Yet another story about airlines behaving badly broke on Monday. This time, a family of four got kicked off a flight because the two-year-old toddler was eating. However, unlike all the other grotesque examples of panicked mask fascism, this story has a happy ending: the flight attendant who caused the ruckus was the one who ultimately got kicked off the plane, and the family was allowed back on. As a preliminary matter, the evidence is very strong that little children neither get nor give COVID from or to those around them. And as a factual matter, putting masks on a...

An incredible scene was captured on video that took place at the back of a commercial airliner. The video involved one obnoxious black woman, a white flight attendant, and several passengers. Unfortunately, you won’t see this video in the mainstream media, because it doesn’t fit their pro-Marxist BLM narrative.
