Spirit Airlines Arrives at Pittsburgh International Airport

What’s black and yellow and connects Pittsburgh to the hottest destinations in the country? It’s Spirit Airlines, of course. In addition to its cool colors, the newest airline to arrive at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) brings ultra-low fares to seven destinations, including its service to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) starting today. Spirit will also begin flights to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Las Vegas, Houston and Los Angeles over the next several weeks.

“We are thrilled to expand our presence in Western Pennsylvania with new service from Pittsburgh International Airport,” said Mark Kopczak, Vice President of Network Planning for Spirit Airlines. “With ultra-low fares to some of the hottest destinations in our network, we expect to give many more travelers the chance to save on airfare and spend their extra cash going on vacation or visiting friends and relatives.”

“Spirit’s announcement to start service is the latest addition to the positive momentum at Pittsburgh International Airport,” Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said. “I’m certain those black and yellow planes will be a perfect fit. It’s fantastic that the airport’s growth is matching the renaissance of our region and the addition of Spirit will help continue those gains.”

“We are excited to welcome Spirit to Pittsburgh International Airport with a great lineup of new nonstop flights and additional low fare options,” said Allegheny County Airport Authority CEO Christina Cassotis. “We have been seeing steady growth in passengers, including on low cost carriers. We look forward to working with Spirit to ensure its successful operation and growth in Pittsburgh where the airline has made a significant investment.”
