Spirit Airlines is carving out a niche in Latin America and helping drive air fares down.

U.S.-based Spirit Airlines is expanding its presence in Latin America, aiming to cater to passengers not served by the big commercial carriers like American Airlines, Continental and Delta. “Less than 5 percent of the population used air transportation within the region in 2007 - which means there is room for growth if the fares are reasonable,” says Robert Booth, chairman of U.S.-based consultancy AvGroup.

In the past 12 months, Spirit has opened up seven new routes to Latin America - connecting its Fort Lauderdale hub with Port-au-Prince, Haiti; San Jose, Costa Rica; Guatemala City, Guatemala; Lima, Peru; San Pedro Sula, Honduras; Managua, Nicaragua and Panama City, Panama.”*
