(Bellingham, Wash.) – Low-cost airline, Allegiant Air, LLC, announces it will expand its service to 10 flights weekly to Las Vegas, Nev. from Bellingham, Wash. beginning Feb. 1, 2007.
“We are very pleased with the continued performance of the Bellingham market,” said Maurice J. Gallagher, the airline’s president and CEO. “This expansion in service will help more Whatcom county and British Columbia customers get to the fun and excitement of Las Vegas. We are confident this schedule will have great appeal.”
