"We are pleased to expand the Allegiant brand of low-cost travel services in Niagara," said Andrew C. Levy, Allegiant Travel Company president. "Our service to Tampa, Fla., has been successful, and we are confident that the residents of Niagara and southern Ontario will appreciate flying nonstop to Orlando, as well as the value of booking hotel rooms and car rentals through us."

"We are delighted that Allegiant is expanding its service at the Niagara Falls International Airport to include the Orlando area," said Henry M. Sloma, acting chairman of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. "I know these four weekly nonstop flights will be extremely popular with our customers in Niagara and southern Ontario."
