Looks like Allegiant is going to LA
Add comment February 6th, 2009
According to the Argus Leader in South Dakota, Allegiant Air’s new “sunny” destination will be the Los Angeles area (and, no surprise, it’ll likely be one of the smaller alternatives to LAX).
This makes all kinds of sense - Los Angeles is the biggest destination in California, could provide strong traffic both inbound and outbound and has several smaller airports looking for service. I just didn’t think Allegiant was ready to make such a bold move (this should become their number 3 destination behind Vegas and Orlando) in this climate, but they very well may be.
Sadly, Rockford doesn’t get the service, at least not to start. But I know airport officials here have identified LA as a potential route eventually. Who knows what will happen? Not me; after all, I guessed San Diego.
