Flights dropped after nine days

Allegiant Air is dropping its three daily flights between Reno and Las Vegas just nine days after the Fresno, Calif.-based commuter airline started the routes.

Poor bookings forced the airline to pull the flights, company spokesman Mark Peterson said. A series of delays in the planned Nov. 1 start-up date contributed to the problem.

"We just think that we stubbed our toes," Peterson told the Reno Gazette-Journal. That likely "eroded some confidence in the market," he said.

Southwest and America West airlines also fly the Las Vegas-Reno route.
