Allegiant Air Expands Offering from Florida

Posted 28/09/2011 | 1 comment

US carrier Allegiant Air is to introduce a twice weekly service to Niagara Falls International Airport, its first scheduled flight to the facility in New York State.  The new link will further expand its offering from St Petersburg Clearwater International Airport in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and will be operated by a 150-seat McDonnell Douglas MD-80 from December 15. 

“We are very excited about the addition of non-stop service to the Niagara Falls International Airport,” said Noah Lagos, Airport Director, St Petersburg Clearwater International Airport.  “The Niagara Falls and Buffalo airports are gateways for many Canadians to fly to the US and for Americans to visit the scenic Niagara Falls region.”

With the addition of this route, Allegiant Air will now offer non-stop services to 23 destinations from St Petersburg Clearwater International Airport and its parent company Allegiant Travel Company partners with 20 local Tampa Bay hotels to offer wider ‘fly-and-stay’ packages alongside seat-only offerings.  Allegiant Air is by far the largest user of St Petersburg Clearwater International Airport; the only other scheduled operations being provided by Vision Air to Gulfport-Biloxi International and Northwest Florida Regional Airport at Ft Walton Beach, Destin.
