Breeze Airways is bolstering its service in Florida this winter. The Utah-based low-cost carrier, which commenced service in 2021, unveiled its latest expansion Tuesday, with four new routes to the Sunshine State.
Spirit Airlines cuts 32 routes in latest network shake-up
30.09.2024 - 20:07 / thepointsguy.com
Spirit Airlines is making more big changes to its network.
The Dania Beach, Florida-based carrier filed plans over the weekend to exit a whopping 32 routes, as first seen in Cirium schedules and later confirmed by a carrier spokesperson.
The full list of affected routes is available below, but highlights include seven flights being cut from Boston, one of the hardest-hit airports on this list.
From Boston, Spirit will cease flying to Charleston, South Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; Kansas City, Missouri; Chicago; Nashville; Pittsburgh; and Norfolk, Virginia. It's interesting to see Spirit exit so many routes from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), which has been in the news recently for renewed competition among incumbent airlines.
Delta Air Lines and JetBlue are fighting neck and neck for dominance in Boston, and the two airlines have been adding new routes and boosting their presence to win the local market. Perhaps there's already so much competition between the incumbents that Spirit could no longer make these routes work.
The airline is also exiting some high-profile routes with lots of competition, such as Atlanta to Chicago and Charlotte to Chicago.
Spirit's cuts have already been updated in the airline's timetables, and affected customers will be eligible for a full refund or rerouting onto other Spirit flights.
Notably, some of the affected routes had already been pared back in recent months, but as part of this update, Spirit will cease flying them entirely. In total, Spirit is reducing capacity in November and December by about 15% and 17% week over week, respectively, according to Cirum schedules.

"We routinely evaluate our network and make adjustments to support the company's business strategy based on current market and operating conditions. As part of this process, we updated our upcoming schedule to focus on our strongest-performing routes," a Spirit Airlines spokesperson told TPG.
In recent months, Spirit has been aggressive about making changes to its network in an effort to return to profitability. The airline has accumulated over $2 billion in net losses since 2020, so there's no doubt that Spirit is doing what it can to return to profitability.
Earlier this year, the airline temporarily scrapped all international flights from Houston due to weak demand. Furthermore, in May, Spirit added a rare, new shuttle route from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). This 247-mile route is already blanketed with service, but Spirit is likely hoping it will help unlock new connecting itineraries for its customers.

Southwest Announces New Nashville Routes and More Red-eye Flights for 2025
Southwest Airlines is extending its flight schedule into early next summer and introducing new destinations from its Nashville hub. The airline, which usually releases its schedule eight months in advance, has just released its booking calendar through June 4, 2025, announced Wednesday. With the schedule update, the carrier has announced several key updates across its network. For starters, the carrier will expand significantly out of Nashville International Airport (BNA), which has been one of Southwest's fastest-growing hubs and newest crew bases. Starting April 8, 2025, the carrier will begin daily service from Nashville to Albuquerque, Jackson, and Tulsa; as well as up to 6x weekly flights to Providence and up to 5x weekly flights to Albany. In addition, the airline will offer “intra-Tennessee service for the first time” with its brand-new, once-daily service from Nashville to Memphis. “The new flights will boost Southwest’s scheduled presence in Nashville to an all-time high of 174 Sunday departures in April and May 2025,” the airline wrote in a statement. The new route announcement comes as the airline is undergoing notable changes, as Southwest will introduce its first-ever overnight flights to its network next February. With today’s announcement, the airline shared a few more routes that will see redeye service — flights from Honolulu to Las Vegas and Phoenix, Kona to Las Vegas, and Maui to Las Vegas and Phoenix will be offered as red-eyes starting April 8, 2025.
