Spirit Airlines adds new service to Boston and New York!
Spirit Airlines announced new daily flights from Charleston International to Boston (BOS) and New
York (LGA). Service on both routes begins April 10.
"There couldn't be a better way to kick off the spring travel season than by welcoming Spirit's
addition of Boston and New York to its nonstop destination lineup here at CHS," said Elliott
Summey, Charleston International Airport Executive Director. “Spirit continues to deliver on its
promise to meet our community's needs with affordable, direct service to some of the most
in-demand destinations."
"Spirit's announcement illustrates the strength of our partnership and the desirability of the
Charleston region," said Helen Hill, CEO of Explore Charleston and Chair of the Aviation Authority.
"The northeast is consistently a top region of origin for Lowcountry visitors. Additional nonstop, daily
flights between Charleston and both LaGuardia and Boston will increase our travel industry's
competitiveness and economic impact while simultaneously helping Charleston area locals more
affordably and easily connect with friends and family in these markets."
Spirit Airlines came to Charleston International Airport in April 2023 and on the first day of service
announced new flights from the Lowcountry to Las Vegas, which began in September 2023.
“Charleston’s historic sites, booming food scene, and beautiful beaches have made it one of the
most popular U.S. leisure destinations, and Spirit’s new, daily nonstop flights are a convenient and
affordable way for our Guests in Boston and New York to enjoy all the city has to offer this spring,”
said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. “We're looking forward to
celebrating our first anniversary in Charleston this April by expanding our schedule to five nonstop
flights and giving our CHS Guests More Go to two major metro areas in the northeast. Thank you to
our partners at Charleston International Airport and Explore Charleston for supporting our
expansion.”
