Spirit Airlines announced Wednesday that it will begin service from Sacramento to Las Vegas starting this summer. Service out of Sacramento International Airport will begin June 20 with three daily nonstops to Las Vegas, said John Kirby, Spirit Airlines’ vice president of network planning. The three daily flights will also provide connections to other Spirit destinations, including Columbus, Ohio; Pittsburgh; Indianapolis; Fort Lauderdale and Tampa; Baltimore, New Orleans and Philadelphia, according to the airline. "We've seen tremendous growth, both in population and economy, in the Sacramento metro area, and we want to be part of it," Kirby said. Sacramento airport officials said Spirit's entry to Sacramento will help lower airfares and give customers more options when flying. The new service marks the 42nd nonstop destination for SMF. The airport said it served a record 12 million passengers in 2018.
