Allegiant Air, the newest addition to the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA), has added a new destination……..
The airline announced this week that it has added Orlando to its list of XNA destinations. Beginning November 19, 2009, non-stop service will be offered between XNA and Orlando’s Sanford International Airport. Introductory fares will start as low as $70 for a one-way ticket. The flights will depart Thursday evenings from XNA at 6:15pm and returning from Orlando at 4pm on Sundays.
Orlando will be the 3rd location serviced by Allegiant Air from XNA, joining Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Current Allegiant flights have been running at 96% capacity. Allegiant tends to service ‘travel destination’ cities, including Fort Lauderdale and Phoenix.
Allegiant has filled a low-cost carrier void at Northwest Arkansas Regional. The Las Vegas-based discount carrier has seen potential in the growth of Northwest Arkansas. As other airlines have cut flights and the number of operating planes, Allegiant has grown steadily – including the posting of over $50 million in net profit for 2008.
