NEW Routes Added to Orlando Airport

Spirit Airlines landed for good when the airline permanently closed on May 2nd, 2026. The sudden closure axed more than 1,000 flights from the Orlando International Airport.

Several other budget airlines offered discounted routes for travelers affected by the Spirit closure, and now, four major airlines are taking on Spirit’s previous routes.

Following Spirit’s closure, Frontier Airlines announced that it will add nine routes and 15 daily flights this year out of the Orlando International Airport. The ultra-low-cost airline already offers multiple flights at MCO that Spirit previously flew, including major cities such as New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
