Spirit Starts New Nonstop Service to Puerto Rico

Last week, Spirit Airlines started daily nonstop service between its Fort Lauderdale base and Ponce, Puerto Rico. Beginning November 1, 2007, this new service will be via Mercedita Airport, just three miles from Ponce’s business district.

Ponce is Spirit’s third destination in Puerto Rico, as the airline currently serves San Juan and Aguadilla. It is the carrier’s 22nd destination in the Bahamas, Caribbean and Latin America region, and its 37th destination overall.

In addition to nonstop service from its Fort Lauderdale base, Spirit will also offer connecting service to Ponce from its domestic network. Spirit serves all routes with its fleet of Airbus aircraft, the youngest in the Americas.
