Two of the largest budget airlines in the country will become one. The parent company of budget airline Frontier Airlines has announced they will purchase Spirit Airlines in a $2.9 billion deal.
Spirit Airlines just announced that they will begin offering non-stop flights to Cancun, Mexico; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Miami, Florida from their Atlantic City hub.
A Spirit Airlines flight from Atlantic City International Airport to Orlando was forced to return to ACY shortly after takeoff Tuesday when it hit a flock of birds.
