ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., July 20, 2021
– Escaping to Mexico, Florida and the Caribbean will be easier than ever
this fall with Spirit Airlines’ (NYSE:
SAVE) new nonstop options from the Atlantic City International Airport
(ACY). Today Spirit announced its first international service from ACY to
Cancun, Mexico (CUN) along with flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) and
Miami (MIA) – all in time for winter!
Atlantic City’s expansion to 10 destinations is the latest example of
growth across Spirit’s network as demand for air travel increases. This
summer, Spirit’s operation at ACY became 35% larger than it was in 2019.
“We couldn’t be more excited to announce our first flights from Atlantic
City to the Caribbean and Mexico,” said Matt Klein, Executive Vice
President and Chief Commercial Officer at Spirit Airlines. “We know people
are ready to get out and travel, and non-stop flights to popular
destinations make it easy to plan a quick getaway with plenty of sun and
sand. It’s been a pleasure working with government and airport leaders in
Atlantic City to give our Guests more options than ever before.”
