At just 29, New Orleans entrepreneur Hashim Walters is aiming to do what has never been done before: turn Spirit Airlines into America’s first Black-owned commercial airline. Through the launch of The Latimer Group, Walters says his bid is about more than acquiring a struggling carrier — it’s about reshaping ownership, access, and leadership in an industry long closed to Black control at scale. Whether the acquisition succeeds or not, the ambition itself exposes a deeper question about who gets to own the infrastructure that moves people, power, and capital across the country.
