Given the multiple restart dates and later cancellations, the news was met with skepticism until an official press release from Spirit themselves.
That announcement came yesterday with news that a daily, non-stop low cost flight will resume between Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Managua (MGA) on November 30th 2022;
