The low-fare carrier will celebrate the convenient new service to the Sunshine State, with introductory fares as low as $69* each way, when booked at www.allegiantair.com. The self-proclaimed "Official Airline for Sunshine" will launch the new scheduled service from Fort Wayne International Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport with complete vacation packages including roundtrip air and three-night hotel stay for as low as $222**. (Price is per person, based on three-night hotel stay at the Rodeway Inn-Maingate, double occupancy and reflects a Friday departure.) "We are extremely pleased to extend the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the Tri-State community," Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant Air president & CEO, said. "The TRIP initiative is a great indication of the Airport Authority and community's commitment to our service. We greatly appreciate this support as it helped make today's announcement possible." As the only low-cost air service between Fort Wayne and the Sunshine State, Allegiant will utilize 150-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route. The airline said that its market research and input from local community leaders indicate that the tri-state community will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Orlando as an alternative to connecting flights and long drives to other airports. "We are thrilled to welcome Allegiant Air to our community as the first air carrier to commence new service under the TRIP initiative which the Airport Authority board adopted in June," Mike Gouloff, president of the Fort Wayne Allen county airport authority board. "Fort Wayne area residents have consistently identified Orlando as one of their top vacation destinations, so to be able to announce today that Allegiant will begin offering low fares there is particularly fulfilling for myself and my fellow board members."
