Spirit Airlines shifting operation center to Nashville
Miramar, FL based low cost carrier Spirit Airlines is moving its Operations Control Center out of the Sunshine State.
It will relocate operations to Nashville at a cost of about $11.3 million.
It will bring in 345 jobs over the next five years, the airline said.
"Nashville clearly came out on top in a nationwide search due to geographic location, business climate and its growing aviation sector," said Ted Christie, president and CEO of Spirit.
"We look forward to building on our plans for future network expansion and protecting our growing 24/7 operation."
The airline recently started flying out of Nashville International Airport to six destinations and will soon increase this to 10 cities.
It currently serves Baltimore/Washington, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Orlando and Tampa from Nashville.
The Operations Control Center is responsible for functions like flight dispatch, crew scheduling, maintenance control, aircraft routing, and coordinating with air traffic control.
