Spirit Airlines Expands SNA

Spirit Airlines is expanding its network from John Wayne Airport (SNA) before its service even begins at the Orange County, California, airport.
The ULCC announced in September plans to launch two nonstop routes from Nov. 17, connecting SNA with Las Vegas (LAS) and Oakland (OAK). Flights were scheduled to operate 1X-daily to LAS and 2X-daily to OAK.
Now, the airline has confirmed it intends to add a second daily flight to LAS and new nonstop service to Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX). The 2X-daily LAS service begins on Nov. 18 while the 1X-daily route to PHX starts on Jan. 6.
Orange County recently awarded Spirit additional takeoff and landing rights for 2021, which allowed for the expansion to PHX and additional flying to LAS.
