Spirit will add six additional Latin American destinations in the coming days, with non-stop service to Los Cabos, Mexico; Toluca, Mexico; Managua, Nicaragua; San Jose, Costa Rica; San Pedro Sula, Honduras; and San Salvador, El Salvador available.
HOUSTON – Spirit Airlines joined the Houston Airport System‘s (HAS) growing list of international airline partners with the launch of its first of several new flights to Latin America from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).
Spirit passengers bound for Cancun, Mexico were treated to complimentary lunch and cake celebrating the beginning of a new chapter for the low-cost carrier.
Spirit will add six additional Latin American destinations in the coming days, with non-stop service to Los Cabos, Mexico; Toluca, Mexico; Managua, Nicaragua; San Jose, Costa Rica; San Pedro Sula, Honduras; and San Salvador, El Salvador available.
The debut is part of the steady growth by Spirit, which announced last year the addition of 10 new non-stop destinations out of IAH, bringing its total of routes served to 22. This includes expanded domestic service to Tampa and Baltimore/Washington, which began in March, and nonstop service to Oakland/San Francisco, which began in April.
The expansion nearly doubled the nonstop service offered by Spirit from Bush Intercontinental, adding to a roster that already includes flights to Chicago-O’Hare, Denver, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New Orleans, Orlando, and San Diego. The new routes will make Spirit one of the busiest carriers operating out of IAH.
“Spirit Airlines undoubtedly recognizes the opportunities associated with an economy as dynamic as Houston’s,” said Houston Aviation Director Mario C. Diaz. “They’ve already proven their commitment to an aggressive growth strategy on the domestic front, and now we’re anxious to see them apply that same philosophy to Houston’s international route map.”
Spirit joins the latest in what has become a parade of new international service coming to Bush Intercontinental – most of those new routes reaching the fast-growing Latin American markets.
