After two decades of providing high value and low fares domestically, US-based Spirit Airlines plans to expand internationally from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The airline will offer daily flights between LAX and Los Cabos International Airport in Mexico from 5 May and nonstop flights to Puerto Vallarta’s Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR) also in Mexico from 1 July.
The airline is also expanding its domestic network and will also now offer travellers nonstop flights from LAX to Columbus, Milwaukee, LaGuardia and Louisville, as well as a new nonstop flight to St. Louis.
“Our new nonstop routes to Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta mark our first ever international service out of LAX and are great complements to our beyond continental 48 route map which now serves 30 destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean,” said John Kirby, VP of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. “In addition, our convenient new nonstop domestic flights, along with our low competitive fares, create even more great getaway options for our guests in the LA Basin.”
Justin Erbacci CEO, Los Angeles World Airports, added that “with travel beginning to rebound, we are excited that Spirit Airlines is adding international service to Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, as well as expanding domestic service from LAX.” He also noted that “LAX is the West Coast gateway to the world and these new nonstop destinations will provide new options for travellers who are ready to fly again.”
