Takeover target Spirit Airlines Inc. said on Tuesday it was in talks with JetBlue Airways Corp over a $3.4 billion sweetened offer and expects to decide on the proposal by the end of this month.

The ultra-low-cost airline has granted JetBlue access to the due diligence information being shared with Frontier Group Holdings Inc. after failing to secure enough shareholder support for its deal with the rival suitor.
