VIVA LAS VEGAS! ALLEGIANT AIR ANNOUNCES NEW, NONSTOP AIR SERVICE
BETWEEN ROCKFORD, ILL. AND LAS VEGAS: AIRLINE CELEBRATES WITH INTRODUCTORY $69* FARE

(Rockford, Ill.) — What happens in Vegas, may stay in Vegas, but it will soon start in Rockford, Ill. as Allegiant Air, LLC, today announces new and nonstop jet-service to Las Vegas beginning Nov. 3, 2005. To kick off the new service, the Las Vegas-based, low-fare airline is offering limited introductory fares as low as $69* one-way, when booked at www.allegiantair.com.

“We are extremely pleased to extend the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the Rockford community,” 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 Rockford and Las Vegas.”

The new flights will operate four times weekly between Chicago/Rockford International Airport and McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas), with service Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday. Beginning Nov. 3, flights will depart Rockford at noon arriving in Las Vegas at 1:45 p.m. Flights leaving Las Vegas will depart at 6 a.m. arriving in Rockford at 11:20 a.m. (all flight times are local).

“The airport authority has been working hard for the last 18 months to secure service from Allegiant Air,” Derek Martin, Deputy Director Air Service Business Development and Marketing for Chicago/Rockford International Airport, said. “This is another great addition to the airport list of low-cost carriers.”

“The airport board is thrilled that Allegiant Air has recognized the market potential of the Rock River Valley stated Mike Dunn,” Chairman of the Airport Board of Commissioners. “The airport board and staff continue to work to bring low-cost non-stop destinations to the regional community.”

The carrier will utilize a full-size, 150-seat MD-80 jet aircraft on the route. The airline said that its market research and input from local community leaders indicate that the Rockford area will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Las Vegas as an alternative to connecting flights or long drives to other airports.
