Fort Wayne, IN

Still no city has been dropped by Allegiant since their departure from ORH. Here is another new city:




Local officials and an Allegiant Air executive have scheduled a news conference for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at Fort Wayne International Airport. An Allegiant spokeswoman and an airport spokeswoman declined to provide more details late Tuesday afternoon, but the announcement will almost certainly be that the Las Vegas-based low-cost carrier will add Fort Wayne to its route.

Allegiant, which flies to 51 cities in the United States, has built a business model around providing low-cost flights to three vacation destinations -- Las Vegas; Orlando, Fla.; and Tampa Bay, Fla. The airline already has regular flights to South Bend and to Toledo, Ohio.
