"Spirit coming to San Antonio International Airport gives our community more family-friendly travel options. They can enjoy the sites and sounds of Las Vegas and have a fun time enjoying all Orlando has to offer," said Jesus H. Saenz, Director of Airports at the San Antonio Airport System. "Also, more people in Florida and Nevada can come and see how special San Antonio is – with cheaper fares that are too good to pass up. It's a win-win because it's making traveling to far destinations more accessible."

San Antonio will be the fourth Texas airport Spirit serves, adding to its operations in Austin (AUS), Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), and Houston (IAH). Furthermore, Spirit sees big opportunity in Texas and has added more flights and seats to its overall Texas service in the last year.

Spirit's entrance in San Antonio comes after the carrier recently announced its new aircraft maintenance facility at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), further strengthening its ties to Texas. The maintenance complex includes two aircraft bays and ramp space for up to four aircraft, as well as warehouse, shops, and office space.
