Spirit Airlines adds 4 daily Newark routes

Spirit Airlines added four new routes at Newark Liberty International Airport with daily nonstop flights to Indianapolis International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Oakland International Airport and Pittsburgh International Airport.

Spirit will also add a temporary route to Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, giving New Jerseyans easy access to the Kentucky Derby. The Louisville route will operate only on May 5 and May 8.

“We know people are eager to travel this summer, and we’re happy to add new, high-value options for guests looking to visit friends and family in northern New Jersey or those seeking affordable options to travel from the Garden State across the country,” said John Kirby, vice president of network planning at Spirit Airlines.

Spirit’s presence at EWR has doubled in size since 2019, now offering over 24 departures per day on peak days. The airline has served Newark for six years and is now the fourth-largest carrier by seats at the airport.

“As our domestic travel options continue to grow, we are excited to have Spirit expand its service routes,” said James Gill, general manager of New Jersey Airports. “This helps keep Newark Liberty competitive as it provides business and leisure travelers with additional choices and greater flexibility in planning their trips.”
