US carrier JetBlue says launched takeover of Spirit Airlines

New York: The American low-cost carrier JetBlue Airlines announced on Monday a hostile takeover bid for its rival Spirit Airlines.

“JetBlue has filed a ‘Vote No’ proxy statement and commenced an all-cash tender offer,” JetBlue said in a statement, which asks Spirit shareholders to reject a proposed merger with Frontier.
