(Gray News) \u2014 Spirit Airlines is on the verge of liquidation due to rising fuel prices, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

Sources told CNBC<\/a> that Spirit could liquidate as early as the next few days.<\/p>\n

In October, the budget-friendly airline filed for bankruptcy for the second time in less than a year. But now, rising fuel prices have reportedly put added pressure on Spirit\u2019s financial situation.<\/p>\n

Reuters<\/a> reported that Spirit built its restructuring plan on fuel costs averaging about $2.24 a gallon in 2026 and $2.14 a gallon in 2027. However, jet fuel prices are currently around $4.24 a gallon, roughly double that amount.<\/p>\n

In its latest annual report, Spirit said the recent increase in fuel prices would have an \u201cimmediate and substantial negative impact\u201d and warned of possible liquidation.<\/p>\n

Spirit has not confirmed reports that it could liquidate as early as the next few days. Spirit told CNBC, \u201cWe don\u2019t comment on market rumors and speculation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/a> was the first to report on Spirit\u2019s potential liquidation, also citing fuel prices.<\/p>\n
