2. JetBlue buys Spirit for $3.8 billion

JetBlue Airways has reached an agreement to buy Spirit Airlines in a deal valued at $3.8 billion. The acquisition would create the country's fifth-largest airline and eliminate a fast-growing low-cost carrier from the market.

The deal, announced Thursday morning, caps months of a bitter bidding war for Spirit and came just hours after Spirit abandoned plans to merge with fellow low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines. Spirit lacked shareholder support to win approval for the merger with Frontier Airlines, which was first unveiled in February.
