Spirit Airlines has officially taken off from San Antonio International Airport.

After its highly anticipated debut at San Antonio International Airport (SAT), Spirit Airlines celebrated its official launch of service on November 17 with a special announcement. Adding two new destinations to its departures list, the budget airline will fly from San Antonio to four total cities daily, starting in 2023.

Spirit currently flies to Las Vegas (LAS) and Orlando (MCO) from San Antonio, and the two new routes will include Baltimore/Washington, D.C., (BWI) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL). Daily service to BWI and FLL is slated to begin on March 8, 2023.

"It's exciting to kick off our new service with plans to grow and give San Antonio travelers even more low-fare options to explore popular vacation destinations," said Lania Rittenhouse, Vice President of Guest Experience, Brand and Communications for Spirit Airlines and President of the Spirit Charitable Foundation, in a release. "We can't wait to welcome Guests from San Antonio onboard one of the youngest fleets in the industry and give back to the community through the Spirit Charitable Foundation."

Commemorating its new service in San Antonio, the Spirit Charitable Foundation made a $20,000 donation to Soldiers' Angels for the distribution of aid, comfort, and resources to the military, veterans, and families living in San Antonio. The nonprofit works with deployed and wounded service members, veterans, and their families, to ensure that those who serve or have served are supported, uplifted, and remembered.

"We are so grateful for the incredible support we have received from The Spirit Charitable Foundation," said Amy Palmer, Soldiers' Angels President and CEO, in the release. "We know how important supporting veterans and active military is to the foundation and we are thrilled to establish this ongoing partnership which will facilitate their desire to give back to those who have served."
