Spirit Airlines adds Nonstops to Baltimore and Detroit for Summer 2017
Oakland, CA - Officials at the Port of Oakland announce that Spirit Airlines will add nonstop service to Baltimore/Washington DC and Detroit, MI on May 25th. The Fort Lauderdale-based carrier announced the new flights today and seats are now on sale at Spirit.com.
The nonstop flight to Detroit reconnects the San Francisco East Bay and Wine Country with Detroit for the first time since 2003 when Spirit previously flew the route. The new flight will raise the number of nonstop destinations that are offered from OAK to 62, a record high during the Airport’s 90-year history.
Customers will now have a choice of carriers when flying cross-country from OAK to Baltimore/Washington DC. Spirit joins Southwest Airlines in the market which will operate two daily flights during Summer 2017.
Additionally, Spirit will increase the frequency of service from OAK to Los Angeles International Airport from 3 to 4 peak day flights in April. Spirit flies the Airbus 319/320/321 family of jets with 145 to 228 seats.
The new service will likely result in Spirit rising to become OAK’s second largest carrier serving a total of 7 nonstop destinations with 11 daily flights. It has grown steadily, adding flights and destinations since its return to OAK in 2012. Markets served and daily roundtrips as of May 25th 2017 will be:
