In early March, Spirit Airlines announced that they were launching three new routes from Columbia, South Carolina’s Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE): one to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FtLL) in Florida, one to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and one to Orlando International Airport. Flights begin on June 5th.

The new routes mark Spirit’s third foray into South Carolina. The airline has run service out of Myrtle Beach (MYR) for more than 25 years and added Charleston (CHS) to its route map in 2023.
