Spirit Airlines is ending its service the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport. The budget airline will no longer operate locally as of Jan. 7.

A statement from airport Director Andy Moore said this is the result of Spirit's recent bankruptcy filing, their second in less than a year.

Spirit Airlines began its service in Rochester in October 2022, with daily nonstop flights to Orlando. They later added flights to Myrtle Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Las Vegas.
