A takeover of defunct Spirit Airlines' gates at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by Delta Air Lines has been ratified by Atlanta City Council. Atlanta-based Delta offered the budget carrier a $12 million one-time fee for the space, including gates C4 and C6, according to documents filed in Spirit's bankruptcy proceedings . Delta will take over the lease for the Spirit gates until June 30, 2031, when Spirit's lease was set to expire. Spirit, which was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, stopped flying and shut down in May after 34 years. It blamed rising costs, including jet fuel prices amid the Iran war.
