Takeover target Spirit Airlines Inc. plans to delay a shareholder vote on its sale to Frontier Group Holdings Inc. for the fourth time, as both carriers struggle to gather enough support for the deal.

Spirit intends to push the special meeting to July 27 from July 15, it said on Wednesday, two days after Frontier requested it to defer the vote on the deal that could create the fifth-largest U.S. airline.
