Frontier is buying Spirit Airlines in a $3 billion deal to create the nation’s fifth-largestcarrier.
The combination will raise competition and give travelers more options to fly to mid-sized cities as well as regions that are underserved, according to the companies.
"This transaction is centered around creating an aggressive ultra-low fare competitor to serve our Guests even better, expand career opportunities for our Team Members and increase competitive pressure, resulting in more consumer-friendly fares for the flying public" said Spirit CEO Ted Christie.
The cash and stock deal, on a combined basis, will produce annual revenues of $5.3 billion and synergies of $500 million once the deal is complete.
