Spirit Airlines to launch new service from Richmond to Detroit

Spirit Airlines is adding new nonstop flights between Richmond International Airport and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport beginning June 12. The service will run Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and will become Spirit's fourth destination from RIC, joining recently announced service to New York-LaGuardia, as well as existing service to Orlando and Ft. Lauderale, Florida.

“Spirit’s announcement of new service to Detroit is welcome news,” said Capital Region Airport Commission President and CEO Perry J. Miller. “With the several route additions announced in recent weeks, travelers gain options that accommodate different schedules and budgets while the airport continues its campaign to better connect the Richmond region to the world.”

Spirit began service from Richmond in March 2018. Tickets for the new Detroit flights are now available at Spirit.com.
