ALLEGIANT AIR ANNOUNCES NEW NONSTOP AIR SERVICE TO ORLANDO AND TAMPA BAY: GREENSBORO TO FLORIDA FOR JUST $49* (Greensboro, N.C.)- Low-cost airline Allegiant Air, LLC today announces new, nonstop jet service to the fun and sun of Florida from Greensboro, N.C. beginning May 24, 2007. The low-fare carrier will celebrate the convenient new service to both Orlando and the Tampa Bay area, with introductory fares as low as $49* each way, when booked at www.allegiantair.com. The self-proclaimed "Official Airline for Sunshine" will launch the new scheduled service from the Piedmont Triad Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport and St. Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport in Tampa Bay. "We are extremely pleased to extend the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the Greensboro 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 low-cost, full-sized jet air service between Greensboro and Florida." "Orlando and Tampa/St. Pete are PTI's two most popular Florida destinations," says Henry Isaacson, airport authority chairman. "Having low fare, non-stop service to these markets will allow travelers to conveniently fly from PTI instead of driving to other airports." As the only low-cost, full-sized jet air service between Greensboro and the Sunshine State, Allegiant will utilize MD-80 series, jet-aircraft with 130 seats on the routes. The airline said its market research and input from local community leaders indicate that the Greensboro community will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to both Orlando and Tampa Bay as an alternative to connecting flights and long drives to other airports. "We are happy to have Tampa/St. Petersburg and Orlando Sanford as two new non-stop destinations." says Ted Johnson, PTI executive director. "We believe the low fares offered by Allegiant will increase passenger traffic at PTI." The new flights will operate three days weekly, with service Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
