- Spirit Airlines, which in the previous week added two domestic routes, started serving Kansas City, MO (MCI) with five links, all of which are operated daily using its 145-seat A319s. With the longest sector being the 1,833-kilometre route from Las Vegas, NV (LAS), and the shortest being inaugurated from Chicago O’Hare, IL (ORD) at 649 kilometres, Spirit will face competition on all of the five new additions from United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines.
