Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) has begun seasonal non-stop flights to Sarasota, Florida on Allegiant Air.
This new non-stop flight will operate twice per week between FWA and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) running on Thursdays and Sundays on an Airbus A320 aircraft. The route is scheduled as a seasonal addition to Allegiant’s existing flights and destinations from FWA, and will run from November 24 through Sunday, April 12, 2020.
“We are thrilled to welcome another non-stop flight from FWA with Allegiant,” said Scott Hinderman, Executive Director of Airports, “Sarasota will be another great Florida option for residents of the Northeast Indiana region as we enter into the winter season.”
Passengers on the inaugural SRQ flight will be greeted at the gate with custom cookies, freshly popped popcorn, and giveaways.
The Sarasota route marks the thirteenth non-stop destination that FWA offers to the Northeast Indiana region, and the sixth non-stop route from Allegiant Air. In addition to the new Sarasota flight, Allegiant also offers service to Fort Myers/Punta Gorda, Myrtle Beach (seasonal), Orlando/Sanford, Phoenix/Mesa (seasonal), and Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg.
FWA offers nonstop service to 12 cities on four airlines. In 2018, FWA served 757,519 passengers –the ninth year of consecutive growth. As a result of FWACAA’s commitment to customer service, Fort Wayne International Airport was recognized by USA Today as one of the friendliest airports in the nation.
