November 14 2019 - 10:00AM
Just in time for winter, Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE) is bringing
more destinations and more low fares to Tampa. Beginning today,
Florida’s Hometown Airline will offer daily nonstop service from
Tampa International Airport to New York’s LaGuardia Airport, Newark
Liberty International Airport and Indianapolis International
Airport. Last week, the airline also started service to Nashville
International Airport. With the addition of these new destinations,
Spirit will now serve 24 destinations from Tampa.

“We are thrilled to bring even more of our Spirit Signature
Service, brand new Airbus jets, and industry-leading low fares to
Tampa,” said Matt Klein, Spirit Airlines SVP & Chief Commercial
Officer. “Tampa is one of the largest and most popular destinations
in our network, but it is also a rapidly-growing community with a
demand for more affordable flight options. As America’s Fastest
Growing Airline, we know this new service will allow more families
to reconnect with loved ones or plan that much-needed winter
getaway.”
“Tampa International Airport served a record 22.2 million
passengers for Fiscal Year 2019 and Spirit’s rapid expansion is an
important part of that story,” said Chris Minner, Executive Vice
President of Marketing at Tampa International Airport. “Spirit
accounted for nearly 40 percent of our total passenger growth this
past fiscal year – more than any other carrier. We are grateful for
Spirit’s commitment to the Tampa Bay region and we look forward to
working together for many years to come.”
Spirit’s growth continues to outpace competitors in Tampa,
increasing its flights by 22 percent year-over-year to 14 thousand
flights and 2.5 million total seats. This robust growth included
new daily service to San Juan, Puerto Rico earlier this year, along
with more flights to Atlanta and Baltimore/Washington DC. The
airline will continue to consider new opportunities as the company
grows its presence in Florida and across the U.S., Caribbean and
Latin America.
In honor of Spirit’s continued growth in Tampa, the company is
teaming up with ZooTampa at Lowry Park as the presenting sponsor of
the updated Macaw Flyover. Featuring a new longer flight path,
guests of the Zoo can watch nearly a dozen macaws flying overhead
daily.
“We are excited to partner with Spirit Airlines in elevating
Tampa’s growing appeal as one of Florida’s most desirable
destinations,” stated Scott Rose, chief marketing officer at
ZooTampa. “Spirit Airlines’ sponsorship of our inspiring
Macaw Flyover affirms the unique and immersive nature of our animal
interactions that both delight and educate guests in our mission to
care for and protect wildlife.”
Next month, Spirit will also unveil its new cabin redesign as
part of its Invest in the Guest initiative. The cabin redesign will
improve the look and feel of the interior while adding new, more
comfortable seats that provide additional usable legroom. Spirit’s
new seats will feature thicker padding, ergonomically-designed
lumbar support, and a full-size tray table. Middle seats will also
gain another inch of width, and every seat will gain nearly an inch
of pre-recline compared to Spirit’s current seating configuration,
with exit rows adding even more.
Guests can find low fares to all of Spirit’s destinations and
vacation packages at the recently redesigned spirit.com, where
they can also sign up to receive sale alerts on Spirit's email
deals and offers.
