ORLANDO A GO-GO! ALLEGIANT AIR ANNOUNCES NEW NONSTOP AIR SERVICE TO ORLANDO: HUNTSVILLE TO ORLANDO FOR JUST $49*

(Huntsville, Ala.)- Low-cost airline Allegiant Air, LLC today announces new, nonstop jet service to the fun and sun of Orlando, Fla. from Huntsville, Ala. beginning Nov. 8, 2007. The low-fare carrier will celebrate the convenient new service to the Sunshine State, with introductory fares as low as $49* each way, when booked at www.allegiantair.com. In addition, the company recently announced nonstop, low-cost flights to Las Vegas would begin Sept. 21.

The self-proclaimed "Official Airline for Sunshine" will launch the new scheduled service from the Huntsville International Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport with complete vacation packages including roundtrip air and two-night hotel stay for as low as $144**. (Price is per person, based on two-night hotel stay at the Rodeway Inn-Maingate and double occupancy.)

"We are extremely pleased to expand the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the Huntsville community and Tennessee Valley region," 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 nonstop, air service between Huntsville and Orlando."

"We are extremely pleased that Allegiant Air is adding another nonstop destination to our community," said Jeff Sikes, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Huntsville International Airport. "Orlando is one of our top five markets, and with one city accounting for such a large volume of traffic, it is important to have as many convenient options as possible from our airline partners. We anticipate the addition of Allegiant's low-fare Orlando service will be very well received by the community."

As the only low-cost carrier providing air service between Huntsville and the Sunshine State, Allegiant will utilize 150-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route. The airline said its market research and input from local community leaders indicate the Huntsville community and Tennessee Valley region will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Orlando as an alternative to connecting flights and long drives to other airports.

The new flights will operate three days a week, with service Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Flights will depart the Huntsville International Airport at 3:10 p.m. arriving in Orlando Sanford International Airport at 5:55 p.m. Flights leaving Orlando will depart at 1:55 p.m. arriving in Huntsville at 2:35 p.m. (all flight times are local.)
