(KNSI) – An airline will halt flights in and out of St. Cloud for five months.
Allegiant Airlines has announced it’s stopping flights to and from the St. Cloud Regional Airport beginning on May 2nd. According to the St. Cloud airport, Allegiant plans to start flying out of the airport again in the fall, beginning on October 5th. St. Cloud Regional Airport Director Bill Towle says Allegiant usually grounds its plans for maintenance for a couple of weeks each year.
Towle says the airport gets about 10% of its passenger traffic in the summer which is the lowest usage of the year. He says the return in early October is about a month earlier than normal for Allegiant to resume flights.
Allegiant says it needs to allocate airplanes to different airports around the country due to plane and pilot shortages. Allegiant has been making direct flights from St. Cloud to Mesa, Arizona and Punta Gorda, Florida.
