Spirit Airlines, Inc. (SAVE - Free Report) launched a four times weekly service from Austin, TX to Cancun, Mexico. This marks the carrier’s first ever international service from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The flights are available on alternate days between Mondays and Saturdays.
The carrier plans to solidify its foothold further in Austin with daily services connecting Austin with Nashville, TN and Newark, NJ, set to begin on Mar 26, 2020.

Apart from the Cancun service, Spirit currently offers flights to Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Orlando from Austin.
