Spirit Airlines

Google will acquire deidentified Spirit Airlines data after winning a bankruptcy auction with a $10 million bid. The records include employee emails, Teams messages, code repositories, financial and pricing data, operating and maintenance records, calendars, and disruption history—offering a rare archive of real-world airline decisions and failures.

The archive contains over 100 million emails, 500 million Microsoft Teams messages, 30 million lines of custom code, flight logs, pricing data, maintenance records, and disruption histories. This is the most consequential aviation data story of the year.
