Spirit Airlines Is Launching New Daily Flights to Cancun

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - May 27, 2021

More new flights are coming to the Mexican Caribbean hotspot of Cancun, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

Low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines has announced plans to launch another new route to Cancun, with daily flights out of St Louis Lambert International Airport. 

The new service will officially kick off on Dec. 22, 2021, according to the company. 

“St. Louis travelers know how to spot a good value, and they’re clearly excited about Spirit’s arrival at St. Louis Lambert International,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning for Spirit Airlines. “”We saw a strong response as soon as we announced our first routes, so the decision to add more nonstop routes to fun destinations was easy to make.  With low-cost flights to St. Louis’ most popular vacation destinations, Gateway City residents have more opportunities to enjoy a quick getaway or spend time with friends and family.”

It’s yet another new route for Cancun International Airport, which has seen more route growth than any other airport in the region during the pandemic.
