Bright yellow planes will fly from San José Mineta International Airport (SJC) for the first time as the Airport and Spirit Airlines announce the launch of new, nonstop service this June. The carrier will kick off with two daily flights to Las Vegas (LAS) and daily flights to Dallas (DFW) and San Diego (SAN).
The new service is emblematic of how aviation markets have shifted following pandemic travel declines, reflecting expanded opportunities in leisure travel.
“Today’s announcement is a step forward for our Airport, our City, and for air travel in our region,” said John Aitken, San José Mineta International Airport Director of Aviation. “This new partnership reflects a return to leisure travel and demonstrates how aviation markets are shifting to expand toward new opportunities and approaches. We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome the Spirit Airlines team to San José, and to offer their unique and innovative brand at SJC.”
“We’re excited to provide More Go and boost competition with the introduction of our ultra-low fares & Spirit’s signature service in the heart of Silicon Valley,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. “With our new affordable, nonstop flights to popular destinations, we make vacationing and connecting with loved ones easier than ever.”
