The new route will be from Bradley International Airport (BDL) to Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) in Michigan. The first flight departed BDL Thursday morning and will operate daily.
Spirit will also begin flying nonstop from BDL to Nashville International Airport (BNA) in Tennessee beginning in August. Nashville and Detroit will allow passengers to connect to other destinations within Spirit's route network.
Spirit flies nonstop from BDL to Fort Lauderdale, FL (FLL) and Myrtle Beach, SC (MYR).
'We greatly appreciate our partnership with Spirit Airlines and their continued investment in the Hartford region,' said Michael W. Shea, Executive Director of the Connecticut Airport Authority. 'The daily service to Detroit will give passengers more travel options at affordable fares.'
'We're excited to add the Motor City to our Bradley (BDL) route map and offer a great value for our Guests looking to visit Detroit,' said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. 'The new route also makes it easier for travelers to reach Connecticut's capital city and Spirit's elevated Guest experience on their journey.'

United, JetBlue ask US to reject Spirit Airlines complaint over partnership
(Reuters) -JetBlue Airways and United Airlines on Thursday asked the U.S. Transportation Department to reject a complaint filed by Spirit Airlines over their proposed partnership. United and JetBlue said in May their "Blue Sky" tie-up would allow travelers to book flights on both carriers' websites, while interchangeably earning and using points in their frequent flyer programs. Budget carrier Spirit said last month the deal would mean the smaller JetBlue "will become a de facto vassal of United." United and JetBlue rejected the complaint calling it a "fiction" and adding: "Blue Sky will maintain JetBlue's independence and enhance its competitiveness, ensuring that JetBlue can continue to grow and compete as an independent carrier."

United, JetBlue Defend Alliance, Blast Spirit Air's Objections
United Airlines Holdings Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp. disputed claims that their proposed partnership should be blocked because it would quash competition and raise fares, arguing that the Blue Sky alliance was designed to maintain a rivalry between the two carriers. The airlines commented in a US Transportation Department filing on Thursday, after Spirit Airlines urged the agency to stop the proposed partnership because it would hurt consumers, lure passengers away from low-cost rivals and sustain a lack of access at New York and Boston airports for smaller carriers.

Boeing's $4.7 Billion Spirit Deal Faces UK Antitrust Probe
(Bloomberg) -- Boeing Co.'s $4.7 billion deal to buy Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. will face UK antitrust investigation, the country's antitrust watchdog said.

Boeing announced the deal last year with the total transaction value of $8.3 billion, that included Spirit's net debt. The CMA will make a decision to close the investigation or launch a deeper probe by August 28, it said in a notice published on Monday. The inquiry 'was anticipated and is part of the normal process for acquisitions of this nature,' a Spirit spokesperson said. Boeing's spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The transaction, once completed, will reunite the firms two decades after Spirit was spun off in 2005 to trim costs. The merger will bring a key supplier for the 737, 787 Dreamliner and other commercial jets back to Boeing. (Updates with a comment by Spirit's spokesperson in the fourth paragraph.)
