Nov 15 (Reuters) - Fitch Ratings said on Friday it has downgraded Spirit Airlines' long-term credit rating to 'CC' from 'CCC'.
A near-term default now appears probable, Fitch said.
It said that the key rating drivers were the company's constrained financial flexibility, shrinking footprint and low aircraft availability.
