Spirit Airlines’ fights will be the only direct flight offered between the two locations and will ramp up later this fall.

Spirit Airlines emerged in March from bankruptcy after filing for it in November, when it reported losing $1.2 billion for 2024. The low-cost airline cut flights and fired about 200 people companywide. With its debts renegotiated, Spirit is trying to cater to wealthier people, CEO Ted Christie has said.

South Florida-based Spirit Airline will soon become the only carrier offering nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale and Key West.
