SAN JOSE — Spirit Airlines, making a big initial splash in Silicon Valley, announced Thursday that it will launch its first-ever flights out of San Jose International Airport.
The low-cost airline will begin flights every day of the week starting in June that will connect San Jose with Dallas, San Diego and Las Vegas, the company said.
Spirit Airline’s decision to initiate flights from San Jose arrives at a time when the airport appears to have begun a sustained rebound from the nosedive in passenger trips that arose from coronavirus-linked economic setbacks.
“This is a really significant milestone on our road to recovery,” San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said in an interview with this news organization. “It demonstrates that we are bouncing back. People are traveling again. Aviation is showing a resurgence.”
The airline intends to provide twice-daily flights to Las Vegas, and once-daily flights to both Dallas and San Diego, Spirit Airlines stated.
“This becomes a reliable opportunity for our passengers to count on daily service to all three cities,” said Rana Ghosh, vice president of marketing with Spirit Airlines.
Spirit Airlines has targeted June 7 as the anticipated starting date for the flights to Las Vegas, Dallas and San Diego.
“This is very a exciting announcement,” Mayor Mahan said. “It bodes well for the future.”
