"Unfortunately, due to escalating fuel costs, we will end our Orlando service from Wichita," Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant Air president and CEO, said. "We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers. We greatly appreciate the support the community and the airport’s management team continue to show us. Our flights to Las Vegas remain unaffected by this announcement."
Allegiant began low-cost service from Wichita Mid-Continent Airport with nonstop flights to Las Vegas Feb. 27, 2003. Flights to Orlando Sanford International Airport began May 22, 2007.
