Let the airline return to Guayaquil demonstrates that the route was always one of excellent operational performance for Spirit, but that he Chapter 11 forced to suspend.
I had the immense pleasure of being one of the passengers on board the re-inaugural flight that marks the return of the direct route of Spirit Airlines between Guayaquil José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) and the Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL). This connection not only unites two key cities, but also consolidates the airline's commitment to international connectivity Ecuador.
This reopening, that significantly expands tourism and commerce options, It is a tangible benefit of the airline's recovery after its profound restructuring process and not to mention the benefit for passengers with even cheaper fares..
