Frontier is no longer in talks with Spirit after months of negotiations to try and merge the two U.S. discount airlines, which now puts the focus squarely on JetBlue Airways and a possible acquisition by Spirit.
The termination of the merger agreement between Spirit and Frontier Airlines on Wednesday comes months after JetBlue impaired the deal by bidding as well.
