In airline news, Spirit and Frontier airlines are merging. I don't know much about either airline and wouldn't normally care about this king of business news but still found this info interesting because... they will now become the USA's 5th biggest airline. So that's a big deal.
Per CNN.com: "The merged carrier would leapfrog JetBlue (JBLU) and Alaska Air (ALK) in the number of miles flown by paying passengers, according to 2021 statistics, putting them behind the four major airlines that control about 80% of the nation's air traffic -- American (AAL), Delta (DAL), United (UAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV)."
