Atlanta Council Approves Delta's $12 Million Gate Deal (simpleflying.com)

The Atlanta City Council voted 15-0 on Monday to ratify Delta Air Lines' $12 million takeover of two former Spirit Airlines gates at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The deal covers gates C4 and C6 in Concourse C plus ticketing and support space, running through June 30 under preferential-use rights rather than ownership. Spirit, which stopped flying in May, must resolve about $722,000 in lease defaults as part of the transaction, which Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane approved on July 10.
