00:00Frontier Airlines denied in another attempt to buy low-cost rival Spirit Airlines.
00:05Frontier saying in a statement they provided a, quote, compelling proposal to buy Spirit,
00:10which entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year.
00:13Spirit, however, called that offer woefully insufficient financially.
00:18The two airlines originally intended to merge in 2022,
00:21but JetBlue offered Spirit more money and the deal was scrapped.
00:25However, a federal judge blocked Spirit's merger with JetBlue.
00:29Frontier is adding what they call first-class style seats later this year,
00:34and Spirit rolled out premium GoBig bundles,
00:37letting passengers pay extra for tickets that include items such as snacks, drinks, free bags,
00:42as well as priority check-in, along with its wider seats.
