Spirit increase operations at Newark with four new destinations and more flights

The ultra-low-cost U.S. carrier with the bright yellow planes, Spirit, is increasing its options for travellers from New York and New Jersey.  The airline is opening four new routes from Newark - daily nonstop flights will be started to Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Oakland and Pittsburgh.

The budget airline will also slide in a temporary route to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby. The two special flights will only operate 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.

The latest EWR route launches are part of Spirit's continued investment in northern New Jersey. Spirit will offer 24 departures on peak days at EWR, doubling in size compared to 2019. After only six years of serving Newark, Spirit now ranks as the fourth-largest carrier by seats at Newark.

"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 travellers with additional choices and greater flexibility in planning their trips."
