New Airline to Abilene

Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air is placing a bet on Abilene. The low-cost carrier is expected to announce today the introduction of direct flights between Abilene Regional Airport and Las Vegas, an Allegiant spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday.

The airline flies 150-passenger jets from mid-sized cities to Las Vegas and Orlando, said Tyri Squyres, director of corporate communication. Abilene might get direct flights to Orlando if enough passengers fly to Las Vegas.
Abilene's service likely will begin with flights two days a week. The first fares available typically start at $69 for a one-way ticket, Squyres said.
