Spirit Airlines has announced inaugural service at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV), set to take off this summer.

Spirit will start daily, nonstop service between SAV and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) on Aug. 14, 2025, and begin nonstop service between SAV and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) as well as Nashville International Airport (BNA) on Oct. 9, 2025, and between SAV and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) on Oct. 10, 2025.

“We look forward to welcoming our Savannah Guests onboard soon and offering them new, elevated travel options with unmatched value to visit exciting destinations across the East Coast and Midwest,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines in a media announcement. “Savannah is an incredible destination, and we know our guests will love exploring this coastal gem while immersing themselves in the city’s historic charm and vibrant art scene.”

Savannah will become the second market on Spirit’s Georgia route map. The airline first launched service at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) in 2006.

Passengers traveling between Savannah (SAV) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Nashville (BNA) and Detroit (DTW) can take advantage of special one-way introductory fares. The fares are available for booking now on spirit.com.

More Spirit in Detroit

The Savannah route also is part of Spirit’s expansion from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, which has already seen the addition of several nonstop destinations, including Austin, Phoenix, Charleston, and San Diego. Of the 15 new routes, nine are fresh, while six are resuming services.

Additionally, Spirit is ramping up its offerings with six more nonstop routes from Detroit to popular cities like Baltimore, Charlotte, and Memphis, scheduled to begin in May 2025.
