ALLEGIANT AIR ANNOUNCES
NEW NONSTOP AIR SERVICE TO ORLANDO: (Springfield, Mo.)— Springfield, get your flip-flops and sunglasses ready! Allegiant Air, LLC today announces new, nonstop jet service to the fun and sun of Orlando, Fla. from Springfield, Mo. beginning Oct. 5. The same airline that initiated low-fare, nonstop service to Las Vegas in April, will now offer low-cost, nonstop service to Orlando, with introductory fares as low as $59* each way, when booked at www.allegiantair.com. The self-proclaimed “Official Airline for Sunshine” will launch the new scheduled service from Springfield Branson Regional Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport with complete vacation packages including air and hotel stay at the Radisson Maingate starting as low as $178** for three nights, per person based on double occupancy. (Package price reflects a Wednesday departure and Saturday return and may not be available on every flight.) This price even includes a complimentary breakfast. “We are extremely pleased to expand the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop, jet service to Orlando,” Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant Air president & CEO, said. “This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we launch the only scheduled nonstop service between the Queen City and Florida.” The new flights will operate twice weekly, with service Wednesday and Saturday. Flights will depart Springfield at 10:15 a.m. arriving in Orlando at 1:40 p.m. Flights leaving Orlando will depart at 8:15 a.m. arriving in Springfield at 9:40 a.m. (all flight times are local.) Allegiant will utilize 130-seat, MD-87 jet aircraft on the route. “The community has been very happy with the Las Vegas Service,” Gary Cyr, Director of Aviation for Springfield/ Branson Regional Airport said. “We are very excited about the announcement today that Allegiant Air will expand their service to Orlando. This will give the citizens of Springfield and the surrounding community the ability to take their families to Florida to visit Disneyworld, Universal Studios and the rest of the Sunshine State. “ The airline said that its strong demand from current customers and input from local community leaders indicates that the Springfield-Branson area will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Orlando as an alternative to connecting flights or long drives to other airports. The Allegiant Vacations division of the company will offer low-cost packages with 18 of Orlando’s most exciting hotel properties and three in Daytona Beach. Partner properties include The Swan, The Dolphin, The Hilton in Lake Buena Vista and the Radisson Parkway. Low-cost packages are available to include hotel, car and amusement park tickets for additional savings.
