“We’re pleased Allegiant is offering southwest Florida residents the convenience of year-round, low-cost airfares to Albany, New York,” said Punta Gorda Airport CEO James Parish. “This is also a great opportunity to connect New Englanders from western Massachusetts to our year-round sunny weather and natural attractions.”
“On the heels of Allegiant launching three new routes in November, Punta Gorda / Englewood Beach is excited to have Albany, New York added to our roster of destinations with nonstop flights into Punta Gorda Airport,” said Sean Doherty, Punta Gorda / Englewood Beach Visitor and Convention Bureau interim director of tourism. “While Allegiant offers service from multiple cities in western and northern New York, this addition will fill a void on the eastern portion of the state while also providing a low cost option to residents of nearby Vermont and Massachusetts. We look forward to sharing a little of our sunshine with our new northern partner.”
