Spirit Airlines Announces New Nonstop Service To Two More Cities

MIRAMAR, FL (September 30, 2014) - Spirit Airlines (NASDAQ: SAVE) is pleased to announce today two more new nonstop routes from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, increasing the number of cities it serves nonstop from Chicago to 23. New daily nonstop service to San Diego and Philadelphia will begin on April 16, 2015, with one daily flight to each city.

"Chicago residents have made it clear they value Spirit's super low total prices - our Bare FaresTM with Frill ControlTM" said Mark Kopczak, Vice President of Network Planning for Spirit Airlines. "Spirit's growth in Chicago to so many new cities wouldn't be possible without the loyal support of our value-conscious customers. We will continue to work to add flights to more nonstop destinations our customers desire, while continuing to hold the line on low fares."

"On behalf of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, I want to congratulate Spirit Airlines for continuing to expand its service since it started operating at O'Hare International Airport in 2000," said Rosemarie S. Andolino, Commissioner, Chicago Department of Aviation. "We welcome these routes and added choices for travelers from Chicago's global gateway."

Spirit's new flights are available for purchase now at spirit.com and through other travel sites soon.

In addition to this new service to San Diego and Philadelphia, Spirit previously announced that it will begin new service between Chicago O'Hare and Atlanta on October 24, and between Chicago O'Hare and New Orleans on October 31.

In all, Spirit will operate to 23 cities nonstop from Chicago, including Atlanta (starting 10/24/14), Atlantic City, Baltimore/Washington DC, Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Myrtle Beach, New Orleans (starting 10/31/14), New York (LaGuardia), Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area, Orlando, Philadelphia (starting 4/16/15), Phoenix, Portland, OR San Diego (starting 4/16/15) and Tampa.
