Spirit Airlines today inaugurated nonstop service between Fort
Lauderdale and St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles. Service will be
offered three times weekly on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
In addition to nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale, Spirit also
offers connecting service from its domestic network. Spirit serves all
routes with its fleet of Airbus aircraft, the youngest in the
Americas.
To celebrate the new service, Spirit Airlines dedicated one of its
A319 aircraft to the region by naming it "The Spirit of St.
Maarten/St. Martin". The aircraft arrived on the island today to
highlight the celebration.
"This is a very exciting day for us as St. Maarten marks our 14th
Caribbean destination served," said Mark Kopczak, Senior Director of
Network Planning for Spirit Airlines. "We proudly dedicated one of our
new Airbus aircraft to this island paradise to show our commitment to
providing ultra low fares and reliable service to the region."
"It is said that air service is a lifeline to tourism growth for
emerging islands like St. Maarten/St. Martin, and we are elated that
Spirit Airlines is now operating three weekly year-round direct
flights from Fort Lauderdale to St. Maarten," said St. Maarten Tourism
Director, Regina LaBega.
