WASHINGTON, April 29 (Reuters) - Spirit Airlines said no hearing will take place on Thursday as discussions over the terms of a potential $500 million U.S. government rescue continue with lenders.

The airline said on Wednesday in a court filing that talks were continuing and lenders have not filed a notice that could trigger a liquidation of Spirit assets in seven business days.
