The hometown Florida airline is growing again in its home state with the addition of Jacksonville to the Spirit Airlines network.

The hometown Florida airline is growing again in its home state with the addition of Jacksonville to the Spirit Airlines network. Beginning December 20, 2018, Spirit will begin nonstop daily service from Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) to Chicago Oโ€™Hare International Airport (ORD) and Detroit Metro Airport (DTW). Jacksonville will mark Spiritโ€™s 69th destination in its growing network, and joins Spiritโ€™s other Florida stations of Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Tampa, and West Palm Beach.

โ€œWe are so proud to be expanding service once again right here in the Sunshine State to my hometown of Jacksonville,โ€ said Laurie Villa, Spirit Airlinesโ€™ Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. โ€œBeyond a proud military presence, the Jacksonville area offers beautiful warm beaches, amazing golf courses, lively festivals, sporting events, and family friendly attractions that will no doubt be a draw for our Guests. As we continue to expand, we want to make sure we continue to serve our neighbors with ultra-low fares right here in our home state.โ€

โ€œIt is with great excitement and anticipation that we welcome Spirit Airlines to Northeast Florida,โ€ said Steve Grossman, Chief Executive Officer of the Jacksonville Aviation Authority. โ€œTheir arrival means more low fares for the Jacksonville community.โ€

Jacksonville (JAX) to/from Chicago โ€“ Oโ€™Hare (ORD)
Starts: December 20, 2018

Jacksonville (JAX) to/from Detroit (DTW)

This latest service expansion comes just months after Spirit announced it was launching nearly a dozen new routes from Orlando, Florida to Latin America and the Caribbean.
