JAX has Spirit, yes they do. JAX has Spirit, how bout' you?
On Thursday, Spirit is adding daily nonstop flights connecting Jacksonville to Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).
This comes after the company unveiled daily nonstop flights to Chicago - O’Hare (ORD) and Detroit (DTW) back in December.
“We are so excited to be here in the Jacksonville market in our own Sunshine State,” said Laurie Villa, Spirit Airlines’ Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.
“As a Jacksonville-area native, I am very aware of what the region has to offer including great beaches, beautiful golf courses and family-friendly sporting events and festivals throughout the year. We know our Guests will take advantage of our affordable service to the area, and our new Jacksonville-area Guests will hop on our yellow jets to vacation and visit family.”
“We are so happy to welcome Spirit Airlines to Northeast Florida this holiday season,” Jacksonville Aviation Authority CEO Mark VanLoh said. “Their low fares are a welcome year-round gift to the community.”
The inaugural service in Jacksonville comes just a few weeks after Spirit Airlines observed Veterans Day in the region by lending support to a well-known Jacksonville-area non-profit, K9s For Warriors. The airline’s charitable foundation provided K9s For Warriors a $10,000 donation to aide in its mission to pair highly trained service dogs with veterans with a variety of needs.
