We’re excited about serving Memphis because we think travelers in Western Tennessee and nearby states could use more high value flight options to popular leisure destinations. Also, Memphis is a vibrant community with so much to explore in music, food, culture and more for visitors looking for a rich experience.
Pace Cooper, Chairman of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority Board of Commissioners, said:
The arrival of Spirit Airlines at MEM provides our passengers with more low-cost travel options, and reflects our continued recovery from the pandemic. These three new daily routes indicate that Spirit sees Memphis as a promising market and we look forward to their continued growth at MEM.
Meanwhile, Spirit Airlines recently announced 7 new routes from Philadelphia.
