Bradley Airport announces Spirit Airlines expands nonstop service

Spirit Airlines, an ultra-low cost carrier, will expand its operations at Bradley International Airport, with the launch of nonstop, seasonal service to Fort Myers and Tampa. The expansion follows Spirit Airlines’ recent launch of direct service to Orlando, Myrtle Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

Spirit Airlines currently operates nonstop flights from Bradley International Airport to Myrtle Beach and Orlando, which launched in late April. The nonstop flight to Fort Lauderdale launches today. The Fort Myers and Tampa flights will launch on November 9, 2017, and they will be offered seasonally from November through April.

The flight to Fort Myers will depart at 4:40 PM, with a 7:05 PM arrival at Fort Myers Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW). The flight to Tampa will depart at 7:30 AM, with an arrival at 10:40 AM at Tampa International Airport (TPA). These times are subject to change.

All Spirit’s operations at Bradley will utilize either a 145-seat Airbus A319 or a 182-seat Airbus A320 aircraft.
