Did you miss these three FLL airport stories? Catch up on the latest travel news
Three recent stories about Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport covered several topics — new nonstop routes from Frontier Airlines and JetBlue Airways as part of schedule expansions, and Spirit Airlines’ bankruptcy restructuring.
Here’s a rundown to catch up:
Frontier to add new destination from Fort Lauderdale airport. Here are details
Frontier Airlines is launching a new daily nonstop route from FLL to Washington Dulles (IAD) starting May 21, with intro one-way fares advertised from $49 (for select days, with a purchase deadline). The move adds to Frontier’s growing presence at the Broward County airport as the carrier continues expanding routes and passenger traffic year over year.
Planning a summer trip? JetBlue adds new flights out of Fort Lauderdale airport
JetBlue Airways is expanding at FLL ahead of summer, adding a new daily year-round route to Cartagena and turning Fort Lauderdale–Jacksonville into daily year-round service. The airline is also boosting frequencies to Dallas-Fort Worth and Tampa to twice daily starting in mid-June.
Here’s why FLL airport remains central in Spirit’s plan to emerge from bankruptcy
Spirit says Fort Lauderdale will stay a cornerstone market as it works to exit Chapter 11 by early summer, alongside Orlando, Detroit and the New York City area. The airline’s plan includes operating a smaller fleet over time, tweaking its network around peak demand, and expanding higher-tier seating options while cutting debt.
