“We are excited to bring even more ultra-low fares to New Orleans this winter,” said Mark Kopczak, Spirit Airlines’ Vice President of Network Planning. “Adding to our expanded service earlier this year, we are excited to celebrate our growth in New Orleans and we remain committed to saving our Guests more money on air travel, so they can spend their hard-earned cash at the country’s best vacation destinations.”

“Spirit’s continued growth in the New Orleans market has contributed extensively to our community by providing affordable travel to 16 destinations. Air travel has become a more accessible means of transportation with the influx of ultra-low cost carriers like Spirit,” said Kevin Dolliole, Director of Aviation for Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. “We are very excited for the launch of these new routes and look forward to Spirit’s continued success in New Orleans.”
