Spirit Airlines has completed their move to Terminal A at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, also known as the Marine Air Terminal. Over the past year, the carrier maintained split operations between Terminal C and Terminal A, but now all flights will operate from Terminal A.
On Tuesday (March 29, 2022), Spirit Airlines announced that they have completed their move to Terminal A at New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA), also known as the Marine Air Terminal. The carrier previously maintained a split operation between Terminals C and A, but will now operate all flights from Terminal A. With all operations now consolidated in the Marine Air Terminal, Spirit guests will enjoy a more convenient and streamlined experience when traveling to and from LaGuardia Airport.
In today’s announcement, Spirit Airlines’ Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Matt Klein, said,
“We sincerely thank all parties who helped make this terminal relocation a reality, especially the Port Authority of New York New Jersey who supported our transition between the two terminals. At Spirit, we are committed to our Invest in the Guest initiatives. The consolidation of our operations at LGA is yet another important achievement for our airline as well as our Guests. We are excited to see our brand continue to grow in New York and, most importantly, it's a true honor to now serve all of our Guests from the historic Marine Air Terminal.”
Also commenting on the consolidation of Spirit’s LGA operations, LaGuardia Airport’s General Manager, Tony Vero, added,
“As LaGuardia Airport continues its transformative redevelopment, we are delighted to welcome Spirit Airlines to Terminal A, the historic Marine Air Terminal. We look forward to working with Spirit to provide best-in-class service to a growing number of air passengers.”
LaGuardia’s Marine Air Terminal was built in 1939 and is one of only two remaining passenger terminals in the U.S. from the first generation of air travel. The terminal is also home to James Brooks’ mural ‘Flight’, a massive 12 foot high, 235 foot long mural that encircles the wall of the terminal’s rotunda and relays the history of human flight.
