Spirit Airlines today announced nonstop service between Fort
Lauderdale and San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Service will be offered three
times weekly on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays starting July 20, 2007
and will then convert to daily service starting November 15, 2007. In
addition to nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale, Spirit will also
offer convenient connections from its domestic network.
Honduras is a vibrant country, brimming with clear turquoise
waters, pristine beaches, breathtaking mountains and fascinating
ancient ruins.
San Pedro Sula, Honduras will be Spirit's third Central American
destination served. Earlier this year, Spirit started service to San
Jose, Costa Rica and recently announced new service to Guatemala City,
Guatemala. Spirit serves all routes with its fleet of Airbus aircraft,
the youngest in the Americas.
"We are excited to bring our ultra low cost service to Honduras
which allows us to offer low fares and grow the overall market by
empowering customers to fly who could not afford to travel before,"
said Barry Biffle, Spirit's Chief Marketing Officer. "San Pedro Sula
is the industrial capital of Honduras and our new service will
contribute to the growth of commerce and tourism in this important
city."
"We are very excited that Spirit Airlines has decided to start
service to San Pedro Sula, Honduras on the 20th of July," said Ricardo
Martinez, Minister of Tourism of Honduras. "This is a great new option
for our travelers with a quality low cost airline like Spirit. We are
certain that this will generate more and new tourism to our country
from different cities in the U.S. where Spirit offers connections. We
welcome Spirit Airlines with open arms and look forward to seeing them
succeed in Honduras."
