PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Spirit is adding nonstop service from Pittsburgh to Newark this summer.
The Pittsburgh International Airport said the flight will offer a low-cost option for travelers going to the New York City area.
The nonstop flights will start on June 22. The 182-seat Airbus A320 will leave Pittsburgh at 5:40 p.m. and arrive at Newark at 7:02 before flying back to Pittsburgh, landing at 9:18 p.m.
"Spirit is a great partner who has continued to grow in Pittsburgh since launching service nearly five years ago," said Pittsburgh International Airport CEO Christina Cassotis in a news release. "Having a low-cost option to the New York City market is important for our region and I'd like to thank Spirit for recognizing the demand to the New York/New Jersey area both from business and leisure travelers."
The airport said Spirit now carries more than 10% of its passengers.
