California carrier adds Fresno flights

Friday, July 26, 2002 | 11:10 a.m.

Allegiant Air will add two round-trip flights a week between Las Vegas and Fresno, Calif., next month.

A spokesman for the Fresno-based airline, which flies twin-engine DC-9 and MD-80 jets, said strong advance bookings have encouraged the company to add flights Fridays and Mondays, beginning Aug. 2. The airline is able to add the flights with its existing fleet.

The new Friday and Monday flights will leave McCarran International Airport at 11 a.m., and depart from Fresno to Las Vegas at 12:45 p.m.

Allegiant already offers flights six days a week between Las Vegas and Fresno and between Las Vegas and Colorado Springs, Colo.
