LATROBE, Pa. — Arnold Palmer Regional Airport is getting a third flight from Spirit Airlines, as the Westmoreland County airport gains momentum from the ultra-low-cost carrier.
Spirit will be adding twice-weekly service to and from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, beginning May 8. The flights weren’t in the airline’s scheduling system yet but were likely to be by the end of Friday afternoon, said Westmoreland County Airport Authority Director Gabe Monzo.
The Fort Lauderdale service will be the third city for the Unity Township airport, which has for more than a dozen years been a mainstay for Spirit. But the vagaries of ultra-low-cost carrier service as well as Spirit’s bankruptcy filing after failed mergers had sharply cut service out of Arnold Palmer Regional Airport. By the end of last year, Spirit only flew four times a week to Orlando from the airport following the end of seasonal service to Myrtle Beach in November.
