The inaugural flight will be served by The Spirit of Turks and Caicos Islands, a new Airbus A319 aircraft dedicated to Turks & Caicos.

While the island of Providenciales has several other carriers, the addition of Spirit Airlines with its low-cost structure will lead to competitive prices overall. And, as for Grand Turk, the country’s capital, Spirit Airlines’ presence will be refreshing, opening up an international gateway for many to visit the exceptional dive sites and historical landmarks that the city is known for.”
