Growing and Growing… More Caribbean Routes Added to Spirit’s Growing International Network
July 11 2018 - 10:00AM
Just when the winter chill will be ready to take hold, here come
more options for a warm tropical escape with Spirit Airlines
(NYSE:SAVE). Beginning November 8, 2018, Spirit will start daily
nonstop service from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to
Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) in Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic*. On December 20, Spirit will grow again
and begin nonstop seasonal service between Detroit Metro Airport
(DTW) and Sangster International Airport (MJB) in Montego Bay,
Jamaica* running three times weekly. The additions offer
affordable fares for travel to stay connected with family or for
fun getaways in the exotic Caribbean.
The expansion announcement will mark the first direct
international service from Newark for Spirit and will serve as a
direct connection for friends and relatives living in both the
Tri-State area and the Dominican Republic. Meanwhile,
Detroit’s new service to Montego Bay will complement existing
international service from the Motor City to Cancun, Mexico.
Both new routes will strengthen Spirit’s growing network. In
June, Spirit announced it was launching nearly a dozen new routes
from Orlando, Florida to Latin America and the Caribbean.
“We are so excited to offer both the Newark and Detroit areas
low fares to some of the most wonderful countries in the world,”
said Mark Kopczak, Spirit Airlines’ Vice President of Network
Planning. “Both Jamaica and the Dominican Republic are known
for their hospitality and beauty and are incredible options for
winter vacations or family reunions. Spirit continues to
prove itself as a go-to airline for quality affordable service to
the Caribbean and Latin America.”
