Low-cost airline and ComVest Portfolio Company, Allegiant Air today announces new, nonstop jet service to the fun and sun of Orlando, Fla. The low-fare carrier will celebrate the convenient new service to the Sunshine State, with introductory fares as low as $59* each way, when booked at www.allegiantair.com.

The self-proclaimed “Official Airline for Sunshine” will launch the new scheduled service from Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport with complete vacation packages including roundtrip air and three-night hotel stay for as low as $205**. (Three-night hotel stay at the Rodeway Inn-Maingate, price is per person, based on double occupancy, reflects a Friday departure and Monday return.)

“We are extremely pleased to extend the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the northeastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania communities,” 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 scheduled service between Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport and the Sunshine State.”

The airline said that its market research and input from local community leaders indicate that the northeastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania community will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Orlando-Sanford as a convenient alternative to long drives and the congestion at other airports. Allegiant will utilize 150-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route.

“Youngstown-Warren to Orlando at these prices is nothing less than spectacular!” Steve Bowser, Director of Aviation for Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, said. “We’ve worked hard to make this day a reality. Allegiant’s support of our region is completely dependent upon our support of them. Our communities have asked for a low-cost carrier and, in Allegiant, we have the very best in the industry. Let’s take advantage of it!”

The new flights will operate twice weekly, with service Monday and Friday. Flights will depart Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport at 6:20 p.m. arriving in Orlando Sanford International Airport at 8:35 p.m. Flights leaving Orlando will depart at 3:30 p.m. arriving in Youngstown-Warren at 5:45 p.m. (all flight times are local.)

“We’re delighted and proud to have Allegiant as our air service partner Joseph Maxin, Attorney-at-Law and Chairman Of The Western Reserve Port Authority, said. “This airline is one of America’s most successful low-cost carriers and this entire region should be elated that they chose to provide air service to Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.”
