PITTSBURGH — Spirit Airlines’ bankruptcy late Friday isn’t having an immediate effect on the ultra-low-cost carrier’s operations at either Pittsburgh International Airport or Arnold Palmer Regional Airport.
Officials from both Pittsburgh International Airport and Arnold Palmer Regional Airport reported on Friday evening no changes in operations at Spirit.
Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc. (NYSE: FLYY), which had warned several weeks ago it may not be able to continue operations, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection a second time after emerging earlier in March.

Spirit said in statements that it planned to conduct business as normal as it restructured.
