Spirit Airlines and Tennessee officials say the low-cost carrier is moving its operations control centre from Florida to the Nashville area. The project to move the operations centre from Miramar, Florida, to Williamson County, Tennessee, represents an investment of $11.3m and will bring 345 jobs to Tennessee over the next five years, officials said Thursday. Spirit will move more than 240 positions from Florida to Tennessee, officials said. The centre handles flight dispatch, crew scheduling, maintenance control, aircraft routing, air traffic control coordination and other aspects of the business.<br/>
