Spirit to Add Second Terminal, Three Cities From LaGuardia

Discount air carrier Spirit Airlines has announced flights to three new destinations from LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The airline will offer nonstop service to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) starting in April, followed by new flights to Nashville (BNA) in May and Los Angeles (LAX) in June.

Spirit is also increasing flights to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) with each day.

Spirit will also begin operating flights out of a second terminal at LaGuardia. The carrier worked with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to secure additional space for growth in Terminal A (The Marine Air Terminal). Starting on April 28, 2021, Spirit Airlines departures from LGA will take place from the following terminals:

• Terminal A: All flights to Fort Lauderdale (five flights each day)
• Terminal C: Flights to all destinations other than Fort Lauderdale will depart from Terminal C

“Our Guests love the convenience LaGuardia Airport provides, and we’re excited about offering even more non-stop options now that we have the opportunity to use both Terminal C and the Marine Air Terminal,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning. “We’re grateful for the Port Authority’s long-standing partnership over the past two decades, and I want to personally thank their team for supporting Spirit’s growth.”

“We are delighted to assist Spirit Airlines move of all Fort Lauderdale flights to Terminal A,” said Tony Vero, General Manager of LaGuardia Airport. “While travel remains low due to the ongoing pandemic, we continue to work with Spirit, and our other airline partners to provide the highest safety measures available to keep travelers safe.”

Spirit has an all-Airbus fleet with A319 (photo above), A320 and A321 planes.
