Allegiant Stays in Portsmouth

Maybe we should call Allegiant and see if they would do the same at ORH??


PORTSMOUTH, N.H. Allegiant Air announced this morning it cutting back operations, but staying at (New Hampshire's) Pease International Tradeport.The small air line says it plans to reduce flights to two days a week and suspend service in the summer and fall. Allegiant has closed its operations in Worcester, Massachusetts, and was considering pulling out of Portsmouth.

This morning, the Pease Development Authority reached an agreement with the airline to continue service from Portsmouth to Orlando, Florida, during the peak travel period between November and spring, and suspend service during the off-peak summer and fall months.

I was thinking the same thing.... Allegiant is most likely mad that ORH said Portsmouth is next. I can only imagine how mad Portsmouth is.....

Really too bad. Since airports like Portsmouth and any other secondary airport in New England should actually be working together. The catchment areas in any of these areas all are looking for the same destination points. We should be making alliances with airports like Portsmouth.
