Spirit has announced the addition of two new, nonstop routes from the Derby City to Tampa (TPA) and Fort Myers (RSW) on Florida's Gulf Coast starting later this year.
"It's a beautiful day when we get to bring the best value in the sky to a vibrant city like Louisville and announce plans for even More Go on day one," said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning for Spirit Airlines. "I've seen so much enthusiasm across the whole Spirit Team as we prepared to welcome Guests onboard in Louisville, and we're off to a great start serving this incredible community. We look forward to everyone experiencing our unbeatable combination of service, reliability, new planes and low fares when they take their next trip."
Spirit flight 1227 will be the airline's first departure from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF). The rest of the day's schedule calls for flights to and from Orlando, Las Vegas and Los Angeles with service to Pensacola following in June.
