Low-cost air service leader adds Maine city to route network

Low-cost airline leader Allegiant is adding a new nonstop flight from Charlotte County to Bangor, Maine. 

“We’re excited that Allegiant will be connecting thousands of Southwest Floridians to Bangor, Maine with new nonstop flights,” Punta Gorda Airport CEO James Parish says in the statement. “We look forward to welcoming new friends from the north to our harborside hometown, sunny beaches and outdoor paradise.”

The new route begins Nov. 16, according to a statement. The airline, as it often does with new routes, is offering one-way fares, as low as $70, to celebrate the new destination.
