Houston, We’ve Got More Go! Spirit Airlines Brings New International Routes to George Bush Intercontinental Airport
June 26 2018 - 10:00AM
The lush beauty and diverse cultures of Latin America await as
Spirit Airlines continues its international expansion, this time
from Houston! Beginning September 6, 2018, Spirit will start
service from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)
to San Salvador, El Salvador* with year-round service running three
times weekly to Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport
(SAL). The next day, on September 7, Spirit will begin
nonstop flights between Houston and Guatemala City, Guatemala* with
year-round service eventually running four times weekly to La
Aurora International Airport (GUA). The additions offer
affordable fares for international travel to see friends, family,
or just for fun!
The new routes will complement Spirit’s existing international
service between Houston and Cancun and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico,
as well as San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The routes are set to
strengthen Spirit’s growing network while capitalizing on Houston’s
diverse travel needs. The announcement comes just weeks after
Spirit announced it was launching nearly a dozen routes from
Orlando, Florida to Latin America and the Caribbean.
“The addition of San Salvador and Guatemala City to our Houston
destination list will provide our Guests more options to visit
loved ones and experience all of what these amazing regions have to
offer,” said Mark Kopczak, Spirit Airlines’ Vice President of
Network Planning. “Spirit continues to prove itself as a
leader in travel to Latin America and the Caribbean by offering
ultra-low fares allowing more to take advantage of our reliable
service.”
