JetBlue
Preliminary economic analysis shows
JetBlue's presence on a nonstop route
decreases legacy fares by ~16%, or 3x
as much as ultra-low-cost carriers
Combined JetBlue / Spirit would have
market share of 9%¹
JetBlue overlaps with Spirit on 48 nonstop
routes²
JetBlue's proposal includes a commitment
to divest assets up to a Material Adverse
Effect on Spirit and a $200mm reverse
break-up fee
Frontier
¹ Based on departure seats for full year 2022. 2 Based on Q1-Q3 2021 DOT data. 3 Based on scheduled flights / seats / ASMS for 2021
Ultra-low-cost airlines simply cannot
compete with the "JetBlue Effect" in the
legacy fare decreases they trigger
Combined Frontier / Spirit would have
market share of 8%¹
JetBlue has less overlap in flights, seats, and ASMS with Spirit
than Frontier in the metropolitan areas served by both³
Frontier overlaps with Spirit on 76
nonstop routes²
Frontier offers no divestiture commitment,
despite similar regulatory profile, and
could walk away from the merger without
any penalty
