Spirit Airlines is launching new routes from Salt Lake City this summer, flying to San Diego and Fort Lauderdale.
In January 2022, Spirit Airlines announced its first four routes out of Salt Lake City International Airport.
Two years later, the airline offers international flights from the Utah capital and is expanding its summer service to highly sought-after beach destinations in California and Florida.
According to Cirium data, Spirit will launch flights to San Diego International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in June. Every week, Cirium, an aviation analytics firm, publishes a recent changes report outlining what has changed in an airline's network since the previous week.
As per Simplyflying, this week, data shows several routes were added this summer, but two from Salt Lake City. Flights to Fort Lauderdale and San Diego will launch on June 20 and operate with the carrier's Airbus A321neos. By the beginning of July, both flights will be operated daily, offering more than 14,000 roundtrip seats.
Flights to San Diego had already been planned, with a launch date of August 7. Now, by the time August 7 comes around, Spirit will be flying from SLC to San twice daily, with one flight operated by the A321neo and the other by the A321ceo. The changes on this route added more than 250 flights in the summer and over 60,000 seats.
Flights to Fort Lauderdale, where Spirit has a significant presence, had not yet been planned. According to data, service to South Florida will run through November 5, operating daily until then. More than 60,000 seats and 250 flights were also added to Fort Lauderdale.
