2:45 PM Anatomy of an Airline Liquidation: From Spirit Airlines Chapter 22 to Winddown
What went wrong at the micro, macro and geopolitical level? Was any of it preventable? More importantly, what
comes next: from asset values and lessor/creditor protections to the future of the ultra-low-cost business model
and the role of a government rescue. Those who advised, lent to, leased to or closely watched debate the lessons
for the industry.
