MANCHESTER, N.H., 2021-Jun-18 — /Travel PR News/ — Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE) is about to land in New Hampshire to connect the summits of the Granite State with the sandy beaches and theme parks of the Sunshine State. Today the airline announced plans to give Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) More Go with convenient, nonstop flights to Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Orlando & Tampa starting Oct. 7.

“We can’t wait to welcome Guests from around Manchester onboard and show them why Spirit is the best value in the sky,” said Matt Klein, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer for Spirit Airlines. “We looked closely at what New Hampshire travelers want, and we saw a great opportunity to give them easy access to some great vacation destinations. We look forward to partnering with the community to kick off service, strengthening our local ties and adding more flights in the years to come.”

Manchester is the eleventh new city added to Spirit’s network in the past year. The airline continues to seize opportunities to bring affordable, high value fares to new markets as the demand for air travel increases. This year, 16 new fuel-efficient Airbus A320neo planes will join the airline’s Fit Fleet™, which is among the youngest in the industry. Next year, Spirit plans to accept another 21 new planes to continue adding new and exciting travel options for Spirit Guests.

“The residents of New Hampshire have been patiently waiting for a new airline, and we’re excited to announce that Spirit Airlines is coming to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport,” said New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. “Now’s our time to take advantage of these new routes and low fares and keep New Hampshire dollars in New Hampshire. We look forward to a successful launch and seeing Spirit grow their options from MHT in the future. So shop local—and fly local from MHT!”

“We are thrilled to welcome Spirit Airlines to Manchester this fall,” said Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig. “As a leading low-cost carrier, Spirit’s investment in our community will open new destinations for Granite Staters and allow more travelers to experience all Manchester and New Hampshire has to offer.”

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Spirit Airlines to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport,” said Airport Director Ted Kitchens, A.A.E. “Residents of New Hampshire have stated time and time again they wanted lower fares and more flights out of MHT, and Spirit has delivered! The low fares to popular vacation destinations in Florida and beyond that Spirit provides are exactly what the community is looking for as they take to the skies.”
