It’s Spirit’s most recent big announcement. Last month the airline announced it was expanding nonstop service between Orlando International Airport and San Juan, Puerto Rico, to five times daily starting May 5.
Spirit is also in the midst of a potential merger with JetBlue, which is being contested by the U.S. Justice Department. The agency is suing to stop the merger, saying it will reduce flight options for budget-conscious travelers.
