Said Kim Crafton, vice president of Marketing & Air Service Development at Columbia Metropolitan Airport: "Increasing air service to a community can be a long process, as our airport like many others across the nation are competing for the same service."

Crafton added, "I'm thankful our team was able to secure Spirit Airlines and I'm thankful Spirit Airlines sees a great opportunity for a successful partnership for the airport and the Midlands region."

The Spirit Charitable Foundation commemorated the airline's new service in Columbia with a grant of $10,000 to Palmetto Place Children and Youth Services, a nonprofit that provides a safe and supportive environment for children and teens who have faced abuse, abandonment, neglect or homelessness.

Following Spirit's recent upgrade of its Free Spirit loyalty program, the airline is celebrating the launch of its Columbia service with a Free Spirit loyalty program promotion where members can earn 1,500 bonus points on roundtrip flights and 750 bonus points on one-way flights to and from Columbia (CAE).

Travel must be booked by June 10, 2025, and flown by July 9, 2025.

The Free Spirit loyalty program is free to join and is the fastest way to earn rewards and status.

Spirit first launched its South Carolina service at Myrtle Beach (MYR) more than 25 years ago and began service at Charleston (CHS) in 2023.
