Allegiant on Feb. 17, announces two new nonstop routes connecting Key West, Fla. with Pittsburgh, Penn., and St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. with Portsmouth, NH.
The new routes come just a week after Allegiant announced its second largest network expansion in company history. The additions came in response to customer demand.
Also, Allegiant announced it is expanding the special limited route connecting Punta Gorda, Fla. via Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) and Rapid City, SD via Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP).
The route was originally planned to operate for two weeks in August, to coincide with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. It proved so popular, the airline quickly expanded service for the entire summer. The new route begins June 4 and will operate twice weekly.
“There is a lot of pent-up demand for travel to cities that offer a gateway to great outdoor experiences,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s senior vice president of revenue. “The addition of two new routes, and the expansion of the Punta Gorda-Rapid City route, reflects that demand. We expect them all to be popular, as visitors continue to seek ways to get outside.”
The new nonstop service to Key West International Airport (EYW) in Key West, Fla. from Pittsburgh, Pa. via Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) begins June 3.
The nonstop service to St. Pete–Clearwater, Fla. via St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) from Portsmouth, New Hampshire via Portsmouth International Airport (PSM) begins June 2.
