Two low-cost carriers reduce service at D/FW
The Dallas (TX) Morning News


Two low-cost carriers have trimmed their schedules at Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport. 

AirTran Airways Inc. suspended its daily Las Vegas service on Tuesday and is
scheduled to stop flying to Baltimore on Nov. 7. Service to both cities is
expected to resume in the spring, airport officials said Thursday. The
carrier cited a seasonal drop in service and higher fuel costs. 

AirTran, which also serves Chicago Midway from North Texas, made similar
schedule reductions to its Baltimore service last year. 

Spirit Airlines, which offered twice weekly service to its hub in Fort
Lauderdale, Fla., stopped service from North Texas last month. 

The carrier, which launched daily service earlier this year, previously
cited fuel costs and a fleet change for the schedule reduction. Airport
officials said Thursday that Spirit indicated plans to return to the market
but did not know when.
