United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby announced that the airline will not bid for the assets of bankrupt Spirit Airlines, citing impracticalities in reconfiguring Spirit's fleet and insufficient gates in key markets. Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection for the second time, is undergoing restructuring, resulting in its assets becoming available for competitors. Despite skepticism about discount airlines' viability, Kirby reassured that low-cost travel options will persist in the U.S.
