FOR JUST $39*

(Worcester, Mass.)— Central Massachusetts, get your flip-flops and sunglasses ready! Low-cost airline Allegiant Air, LLC today announces new, nonstop jet service to the fun and sun of Orlando, Fla. from Worcester, Mass, beginning Dec. 22. The low-fare carrier will celebrate the convenient new service to the Sunshine State, with introductory fares as low as $39* each way, when booked at www.allegiantair.com.

“We are extremely pleased to extend the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the Central Massachusetts community,” Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant Air president and CEO, said. “This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we launch the only scheduled nonstop service between Worcester and Orlando.”

Beginning Dec. 22, the new flights will operate four times weekly, with service Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. From Jan. 2 though Feb. 9, 2006, flights will operate twice weekly on Thursday and Sunday, resuming four-day-a-week service Feb. 10. Flights will depart Worcester at 11:10 a.m. arriving in Orlando at 2 p.m. Flights leaving Orlando will depart at 7:40 a.m. arriving at Worcester at 10:35 a.m. (all flight times are local.) Allegiant will utilize 130-seat, MD-87 jet aircraft on the route.

"The establishment of quality, low-cost air service is another sign that Worcester is on the move," Senator Edward M. Kennedy said. "This is a strong, vibrant, and growing market, that's starting to attract the attention of outside investors, and this announcement is a great step forward."

"I am thrilled with Allegiant's decision to begin commercial service from Worcester to Orlando/Sanford later this year” Congressman James P. McGovern, Third Congressional District of Massachusetts, said. “Today's announcement confirms what many of us have long believed about Worcester Regional Airport. Commercial service can and will succeed at Worcester if we have competitive fares to desirable destinations. Allegiant embraces that business model, and I think their commitment is a great sign for the future of our airport."

The self-proclaimed “Official Airline for Sunshine” will launch the new scheduled service with complete vacation packages including air and hotel stay at the Rodeway Inn-Maingate starting as low as $138** for three nights, per person based on double occupancy. (Package price reflects a Thursday departure and Sunday return and may not be available on every flight.) This price even includes a complimentary breakfast.

"I am extremely pleased to welcome Allegiant Air to Worcester Regional Airport,” Michael V. O’Brien, Worcester’s City Manager. “The decision of Allegiant to locate their operation in Worcester underscores the strong level of demand for air travel that exists in our market. That air passenger demand, complemented by Allegiant's solid track record, strong management team, and competitive fares, have all the ingredients for success. Allegiant's low-fare, nonstop, jet service to Orlando, combined with the convenience of Worcester Regional Airport, should be a winning combination that attracts passengers from throughout Central Massachusetts and brings commercial air service back to Worcester."

The airline said that its market research and input from local community leaders indicate that the Worcester community will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Orlando as an alternative to long lines, expensive parking and long drives to other airports.

Massport CEO Craig P. Coy said, "Allegiant's service to Sanford/Orlando is good news not only for the local economy, but for consumers. Businesses and residents throughout the area deserve high-quality, convenient service, and I'm confident Allegiant will provide it."

"We are thrilled to welcome Allegiant Air to Worcester," Mayor Timothy P. Murray said. "Travelers from throughout Central Massachusetts have longed for low cost service to an attractive destination and Allegiant has certainly answered that call. Sunshine state here we come!"

"Today's announcement signals a new beginning for Worcester Regional Airport. I believe that people in central Massachusetts have been looking to take advantage of affordable vacation destination in America," said Robert Nemeth, Chairman of the Worcester Airport Commission.
