Spirit Airlines® Launches Non-Stop Service to San
Pedro Sula, Honduras
Introductory Fares Starting at $9 Each Way(A)
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit
Airlines today launched non-stop service between its
Fort Lauderdale hub and San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Service from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International
Airport initially will be offered three times weekly
on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Flights from La Mesa
International Airport in Honduras will be offered on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Honduras is the third Central American country served
by Spirit Airlines, joining the carrier’s Guatemala
and Costa Rica destinations. It is the fifth country
in Latin America and the 35th destination overall.
In addition to non-stop service from its Fort
Lauderdale hub, Spirit also offers connecting service
to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, from its domestic
network. Spirit serves all routes with its fleet of
Airbus aircraft, the youngest in the Americas.
“We are thrilled to add San Pedro Sula to our
network,” said Barry Biffle, Spirit Airlines’ Chief
Marketing Officer. "Honduras has finally gained their
independence from high fares and their tourism and
overall economy will benefit as a result."
“We are very excited that Spirit Airlines has decided
to start service to San Pedro Sula, Honduras,” said
Ricardo Martinez, Minister of Tourism of Honduras.
“This is a great new option for our travelers with a
quality low cost airline like Spirit. We are certain
that this will generate more and new tourism to our
country from different cities in the U.S. where Spirit
offers connections. We welcome Spirit Airlines with
open arms and look forward to seeing them succeed in
Honduras.”
“We at the Convention and Visitors Bureau, as well as
the residents of Broward County, are extremely happy
to begin direct air service from Honduras,” said
Alfredo Gonzalez, vice president of tourism and
international business for the Greater Fort Lauderdale
Convention & Visitors Bureau. “It will get both
communities closer, it will allow more Americans to
experience the beauty, history, culture and ecotourism
of Honduras and also Hondurans will be able to see the
wonders of Greater Fort Lauderdale, from the beautiful
beaches to the Everglades. They will get closer to a
community that offers a great hotel product, excellent
dining and unequaled shopping. We applaud Spirit’s
decision to fly to Honduras, and as a tourism
organization, we are committed to work with our travel
partners to promote this great new service.”
