PHOENIX — Less than six months after Spirit Airlines started daily service between Mesa Gateway and Denver is downsizing the route to seasonal.

Competition from other airlines taking this route likely played a role in Spirit’s decision.

According to airport officials, Denver is the No. 1 air-travel destination for Phoenix-area travelers.
