Spirit Airlines Announces New Service to San Jose, California

Spirit Airlines is California Dreamin’.

The budget carrier today announced a new route, to San Jose, California.

Weekly service between San Jose and Dallas and Las Vegas and San Diego will begin in June.

Proving once again that it is not content to wait for the Department of Justice or Department of Transportation for regulatory approval for the proposed merger with JetBlue, Spirit has added several new routes since the merger announcement last summer.

In fact, not only did Spirit not wait for the approval for the new route, it is celebrating with select $39, one-way fares from San Jose.

Vice-President of Network Planning John Kirby said he is excited for the budget carrier to continue its growth.

“With our new affordable, nonrefundable flight to more popular destinations, we make vacationing and connecting with loved ones easier than ever,” he said in a statement.

Added John Aitken of San Jose Mineta International Airport: “Today’s Announcement is a step forward for the airport, and our city and for travel in our region.”
