Ponce has become the third destination in Puerto Rico to be served by Spirit Airlines after the US carrier inaugurated a route from Orlando (MCO).
The airline, which already flies to San Juan (SJU) and Aguadilla (BQN), will offer a daily connection from the Floridian airport to Ponce’s Mercedita International (PSE). Flights will be on board Airbus A319s.
“Our new nonstop flights between Ponce and Orlando provide both Puerto Rican and Floridian travelers with convenient and affordable ways to visit friends and relatives,” said Matt Klein, Spirit EVP and CCO. “It also provides convenient access to the theme parks in Orlando as well as the historical and cultural attractions along Puerto Rico’s southern coast.”
OAG Schedules Analyser data shows that Spirit will go head-to-head on the route with JetBlue Airways, which is offering five flights per week in March and seven per week from April. Until now, JetBlue has been the sole provider of MCO-PSE service for more than a decade.
