Esopus Creek Value Series Fund LP, an institutional investor, has significantly reduced its stake in Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc., which is currently operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The fund reported selling a total of 610,764 shares across three transactions, including a substantial sale of 500,000 shares on March 6, 2026, for approximately $161,850.
