Spirit Airlines Continues to Expand in Latin America with New Nonstop Service to San Pedro Sula, Honduras!
Communiqué publié le 26/04/2007 à 18h43

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."
