Spirit Airlines cuts back on service at Pittsburgh International Airport

PITTSBURGH — Spirit Airlines will discontinue two routes out of Pittsburgh International Airport that it had launched to much fanfare earlier this year in a larger shakeup of its routes nationwide.

Spirit (NYSE: SAVE) will stop flying between Pittsburgh and two prime East Coast markets, Boston’s Logan International Airport and New York’s LaGuardia International Airport. It will stop flying the Pittsburgh-Boston route on Oct. 7 and the Pittsburgh-New York route Nov. 6.

An Allegheny County Airport Authority spokesman confirmed the changes.

“We are working with Spirit to understand opportunities when these routes could return,” said spokesman Bob Kerlik.
