Why is the government getting inolved with this specific airline? Quite a few airlines have gone bankrupt over the past years, probably some of them bigger than Spirit.

Because Trump believes in partially nationalizing companies when the opportunity arises. No other presidents have. Even on the rare occasions when the government bailed out strategically important industries they got Congress involved and had the companies issue preferred debt to pay us back.
