After a challenging period of route cuts and bankruptcy filings, Spirit Airlines is making a comeback by expanding its network. The low-cost carrier has announced six new routes, including flights to Chattanooga, TN, and Columbia, SC. The new services will launch on June 4 from Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA) and June 5 from Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE), offering affordable travel options for southern travelers.
Flights to Chattanooga Gain Nonstop Connections
For the first time, flights to Chattanooga will have direct routes from Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Newark (EWR), and Orlando (MCO). The new Spirit Airlines expansion will operate multiple times per week, and introductory cheap Spirit Airlines tickets will start at $50.
“We’re excited to expand our Tennessee network and welcome our CHA Guests onboard as we launch three new nonstop routes, just in time for a fun summer vacation,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. He highlighted Chattanooga’s appeal as the “Scenic City,” offering visitors breathtaking views and numerous outdoor activities.
Flights to Columbia, SC Welcome Spirit’s Affordable Service
