Alphabet’s Google is purchasing internal business information from bankrupt Spirit Airlines for $10 million. The company plans to use the data for product development and training its AI models.
The acquired information includes employee emails, Microsoft Teams messages, spreadsheets, and calendars, along with marketing, productivity, and operations records.
The data will be anonymized before the sale, with no customer details or personally identifiable information included.
A U.S. bankruptcy judge is scheduled to review approval of the sale at a hearing on Wednesday.
Spirit also received a $7.5 million bid from Mercor, an AI data company.
Spirit is liquidating assets in bankruptcy after ending operations in May due to high debt and fuel costs.
