About this episode

The episode discusses the competitive landscape of Fort Lauderdale Airport following the exit of Spirit Airlines.

With its largest airline – Spirit – out of business, FLL has become a fascinating airport where airlines are all jockeying for position. Jon Ostrower, Brian Sumers and Brett Snyder talk about which airlines are trying to get a leg up in Fort Lauderdale and, for that matter, all of South Florida. Thank you to Points, a Plusgrade company, for sponsoring this week's episode.
