Allegiant Air: new service between Pasco and Phoenix-Mesa
The Tri-Cities land another hole-in-one with Allegiant Air as the low-cost airline announces it will offer nonstop service to Phoenix-Mesa from Pasco, Wash. beginning November 19. The carrier will celebrate the convenient new service to Arizona with introductory fares as low as $59 each way.
The self-proclaimed “Official Airline for Sunshine” will launch the new scheduled service from Tri-Cities Airport to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport with two flights weekly on Thursday and Sunday. Service will begin Nov. 19 with flights departing the Tri-Cities at 4:35 p.m. arriving in Phoenix-Mesa at 8:05 p.m. Flights leaving Phoenix-Mesa will depart at 2:20 p.m. arriving in the Tri-Cities at 3:55 p.m. (all flight times are local.) Allegiant inaugurated low-cost, nonstop service to Las Vegas April 7, 2005.
“We are extremely pleased to again expand the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the Tri-Cities communities,” Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., president, CEO of Allegiant Air said. “This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we launch the only nonstop service between the Tri-Cities and Arizona.”
The airline commented market research and input from local community leaders indicate the Tri-Cities communities will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Phoenix-Mesa as an alternative to connecting flights and long drives to other airports. Allegiant will utilize 150-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route.
“We are excited that Allegiant Air will offer nonstop service between Pasco and Phoenix-Mesa,” Jim Klindworth, president, Port of Pasco, said. “This is an exciting new opportunity that will provide even more options for our traveling public.”
With breathtaking scenery, endless sun, unmatched resorts and miles of world-class golf courses, Phoenix-Mesa is a gateway to all that Arizona has to offer, including the Grand Canyon, Scottsdale, Tempe and Sedona. Not only is the area considered “The Golf Capital of the World,” but the “Resort Capital of the World” with numerous four and five-diamond resorts. These premier resort communities feature shopping, dining, spa, activities and luxury accommodations for the perfect getaway to Arizona’s unique Southwestern hospitality.
Allegiant partners with more than 40 resorts in Arizona, including hotels in the Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Sedona and air/hotel packages are available for as low as $229. (Price is per person, based on three-night hotel stay at the Best Western Inn of Tempe, double occupancy and reflects a Thursday arrival and Sunday departure.)
