Allegiant announced a new direct route to Florida out of Bangor International Airport, one of three routes in total to Florida the airline currently operates out of Bangor.
Starting Nov. 16, Allegiant will offer a route to Punta Gorda Airport in Florida, serving the west coast of Florida from Sarasota down to Fort Myers. Flights will depart two or three times per week, depending on the week.
That’s in addition to Allegiant’s longstanding direct flights out of Bangor to Orlando Sanford International Airport, and to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport. Another Florida route to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport was offered seasonally but was discontinued this year.
Other direct routes out of Bangor include flights to both New York City, Newark, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Charlotte, North Carolina and Chicago, operated by Delta, United and American.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated the status of a Bangor-Fort Lauderdale route that has been discontinued.
