Spirit Airlines Introduces New Daily Non-Stop Service between San Antonio and Fort Lauderdale
Communiqué publié le 15/01/2008 à 15h30

As ultra low cost carrier Spirit Airlines continues to increase capacity throughout 2008, the airline is introducing new daily non-stop service between San Antonio, Texas and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Spirit will start with one daily flight on April 14, 2008, and a second daily flight will begin on May 1, 2008. To celebrate, Spirit is offering $18.36 Independence Fares(i).

Spirit's $18.36 Independence Fares start January 15, 2008 at www.spiritair.com and tickets must be booked by January 16, 2008 at midnight.

"As a Texan, I am very proud that my home state won its independence in 1836," said San Antonio native and Spirit Airlines Vice President and Controller David Bradford. "I am equally as proud to be associated with an airline that is able to facilitate this new service by offering Texas travelers independence from high fares."

"This is terrific news for San Antonians," said San Antonio Aviation Director Mark Webb. "Spirit is not only connecting two vibrant cities with non-stop service, but they're also bringing to the market an ultra low cost business model that I think San Antonians are going to find very appealing."

Looking toward the future, Webb added that "we're certainly hopeful that this is just the beginning of a larger partnership between San Antonio International Airport and Spirit Airlines. The recent growth in the 'Alamo City' has simply been amazing, so we certainly see potential for more destinations in the future."
