Toluca languishes

Low-fare Spirit Airlines is planning to increase promotion of its service from Fort Lauderdale to Toluca. The route apparently has been a disappointment, Toluca being as unknown in Florida as Fort Lauderdale is in Mexico. Still, Spirit has announced intentions to bring in another flight, possibly from Dallas. All this is good news for Toluca airport management. The facility operates as an alternative to the Mexico City airport, but has been suffering. Interjet and Volaris both have shifted business to Mexico City, taking advantage of absent Mexicana Airlines.
