Spirit Airlines first
established its headquarters at the Park in 1999 with a lease for 56,194 sq.
ft. at 2800 Executive Way. With a 14,625 sq.-ft. expansion in 2013 and the
latest addition, Spirit now occupies a total of 97,106 sq. ft. at the Park.
“Our expansion at the
Park is commensurate with Spirit’s overall growth as a company,” said Chip
Sandifer of Spirit Airlines. “Our expanding aircraft fleet requires
increased support to accommodate more passengers, both from a customer service
and an operational perspective.”

months, Spirit has added seven new planes to its Fit Fleet®, the

airports in 15 countries. Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood International Airport is
its largest and most active station with 54 destinations accessible via 65
daily flights.
