ORANJESTAD – Aruba Airport is excited to announce a significant development in air travel connectivity between Fort Lauderdale and Aruba. Spirit Airlines has recently reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening its connection with Aruba by expanding its service from Fort Lauderdale.
Enhanced Service Schedule
Previously, Spirit operated the Fort Lauderdale – Aruba route twice a week, with flights on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Recognizing the growing demand for travel to the island, Spirit has taken proactive steps to meet this demand by increasing its service to Aruba. As of September 6, Spirit increased its service to the island, expanding from two weekly flights to four weekly flights. The new flight schedule covers Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, offering passengers greater flexibility in their travel options.
Further Expansion in Winter 2023-2024
Beginning October 4, 2023, Spirit will further enhance its service to Aruba from four weekly to daily flights between Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Aruba. The route will be operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft, providing a seat capacity of approximately 228. This expansion by Spirit is expected to generate approximately 1,140 additional weekly seat capacity to Aruba from Fort Lauderdale, significantly enhancing connectivity between the two destinations.
In addition to this increase in frequency by Spirit to the Florida region, it’s important to highlight that American Airlines also operates a route to Florida, specifically Miami – Aruba, with double daily frequency.
Flight Schedules
Flights from Aruba to Fort Lauderdale depart on weekdays at 3:30PM and on weekends at 5:15PM.
“The decision by Spirit to enhance its connection to the island is a testament to Aruba Airport’s ongoing commitment to fostering partnerships with airlines and continually expanding its global reach”, said Jo-Anne Meaux-Arends, Aviation Business Development Executive.
