Factors contributing to FLL's positive outlook include itinerary expansion by Spirit Airlines, FLL's leading carrier, which recently introduced service to Santiago, Dominican Republic and will begin serving Armenia, Colombia in August, complimented by new Aires Airlines service into Bogotá the same month.  JetBlue Airways, which moved to FLL's Terminal 3 in June to provide easier connections to the carrier's international passengers, has added new service to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and Cancun, Mexico.  Finally, AirTran Airways has launched new service to Allentown, PA and will be bringing Harrisburg, PA and Akron, OH online in November.
