Spirit Airlines Emptiest ACY Routes

South Jersey residents are big fans of having Atlantic City International Airport right in our backyard.

Why South Jersey Residents Prefer ACY

Residents enjoy the convenience of flying from ACY to many Florida destinations, and now some new southern spots, including Raleigh, NC, and Myrtle Beach, SC. Local residents can make the easy drive to Egg Harbor Township, park their car, or even get a ride without having to go up to Philadelphia. Passengers can generally check in quickly and be sitting comfortably at the Beach House Bar and Grill, grabbing a bite and having a drink, while waiting for their flight.

Exploring New Options: Breeze and Allegiant at ACY

There are now three airlines flying from ACY: Allegiant, Breeze, and Spirit Airlines.

Breeze will be offering non-stop flights from ACY to Charleston, SC (starting May 6), Raleigh (starting June 11), and Tampa (starting July 1). Allegiant Air has non-stop flights to Myrtle Beach (starting May 21), Fort Lauderdale, Sanford, and St. Petersburg

We all know Spirit has had some financial issues, and selfishly, many locals are hoping that it can be straightened out, so they can continue to have the convenience of using their service from ACY to all the destinations they offer.

However, there is one flight from ACY that is among the 10 emptiest routes Spirit Airlines makes.

The Data Behind the Miami-Atlantic City Route Cut

The route, Miami-Atlantic City, which Spirit ended back on October 4, was one of the emptiest routes, at just 32.6% capacity, serving just 3,212 passengers.

Overall, that was the ninth emptiest route that Spirit Airlines had throughout the entire country.
