Spirit Airlines is set to launch flights to Middle Georgia Regional Airport (MCN) in Macon, Georgia. This move marks the first destination under a new partnership with regional carrier Contour Airlines.
Starting October 16, Spirit will operate twice-weekly flights between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and MCN using an Airbus A320-family aircraft. The airline announced introductory fares beginning at $49.99 one-way.
Under this agreement, Contour will manage ground services for Spirit at MCN. "The airlines touted the pact as a way to expand air connectivity to 'underserved communities across the country,'" according to the announcement made on Thursday.
