MIRAMAR, Fla., June 25 /PRNewswire/ — Starting July 24, 2008, ultra
low cost carrier Spirit Airlines is offering daily non-stop service from
its Fort Lauderdale home to Bogota, Colombia. In addition to this new
non-stop service from Fort Lauderdale, Spirit also offers convenient
connections from its network of 16 other destinations in the United States
to Bogota.

Spirit is celebrating this new service with $69 roundtrip introductory
fares* available today and tomorrow at http://www.spiritair.com. In addition, $69
each way fares for travel on Mondays – Thursdays from September 4 – October
31, 2008, are also available today and tomorrow at http://www.spiritair.com

The new route will be operated by Spirit’s new Airbus fleet, the
youngest in the Americas.

The city of Bogota, with a population of seven million inhabitants, has
become one of the most important capitals and business centers in the
region. Its year-round spring-like climate and location at an altitude of
9,000 feet above sea level, provides a pleasant location for walking, and
an excellent backdrop for restaurants, shopping, nightlife, coffee
production and commercial centers. Bogota also has become a primary
destination for congresses, fairs and conventions for the entire Latin
America and Caribbean region.

“We are excited about liberating millions of Colombians in Bogota from
high fares as we’ve already done in Cartagena and other cities in the
region,” said Spirit Chief Marketing Officer Barry Biffle. “This new
service will offer over 100 million people low fare access to Bogota
through our Fort Lauderdale gateway.”

Referring to Spirit’s new flight to Bogota, Colombia, Oscar Rueda
Garcia, Vice Minister of Tourism of Colombia said: “Spirit’s arrival marks
a new stage in the history of Colombia’s tourism, in which we are eagerly
awaiting the best fares in order to promote tourism for the country. This
new stage of flying, which began to Cartagena on May 8, 2008, met with
great success and we hope that very soon will cover other tourist
destinations throughout the country.”
