Spirit Airlines to end service in Rochester
Listen to this articleSpirit Airlines will be pulling out of Rochester, a little over three years after the budget carrier began service at Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport.
As part of a bankruptcy reorganization, Spirit will end Rochester service on Jan. 7.
The Florida-based carrier offered flights from ROC to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Houston; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Cancun, Mexico.
Spirit has filed for bankruptcy twice within the year. As part of the latest reorganization, the airline is also ending service to four other cities: St. Louis, Phoenix, Milwaukee and Palonegro, Colombia.
“While disappointed, we wish Spirit well as they address their financial situation,” Andy Moore, airport director for Monroe County, said in a news release. “ROC remains committed to working with our current airline partners to recruit and secure additional nonstop services to the Orlando area.”
