Spirit Airlines Starts New Non-Stop Service between Fort Lauderdale and Panama City
Wednesday January 30, 1:04 pm ET


MIRAMAR, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fort Lauderdale’s hometown ultra low cost carrier Spirit Airlines begins three weekly non-stop flights to Panama City, Panama tomorrow, with increased frequency to daily service starting May 1, 2008.
In addition to this new non-stop service, Spirit also offers connecting service to Panama from its domestic network.

The new route will be operated by Spirit’s Airbus fleet, the youngest in the Americas.

Panama City is one of many new routes that are part of Spirit’s aggressive 2008 expansion plan. Already the largest carrier at Fort Lauderdale, Spirit is well on its way to increasing its South Florida operations by 40 percent this year.

In addition to Panama City, Spirit has also announced that it will begin new and/or expanded service to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico; San Antonio and Boston, among other destinations to be announced over the coming weeks.

Spirit has the lowest costs in the Americas and they are getting lower and that allows them to make money selling low fares while stimulating underserved/overpriced markets. But Spirit is not for everyone, only the price centric customers that don't want a lot of freebies or premium services.
