Southwest dropping flights at Akron-Canton

Thursday, 15 May, 2015 0

Southwest Airlines is dropping several nonstop services from Akron-Canton Airport this fall.

In November flights to New York LaGuardia, Boston Logan, Washington Reagan National and Denver will end.

However the carrier will add a new route to Las Vegas, scheduled to take off from November 15.  

Southwest still remains Akron-Canton’s largest commercial airline with non-stop flights to Atlanta, Tampa, Orlando, and seasonal service to Fort Myers, Florida.

While there is disappointment at losing flights, airport officials are buoyed at expansion by Akron-Canton’s newest carrier Allegiant Airlines.

Allegiant plans to add three destinations at the airport, which will be announced next month,  said Kristie VanAuken, the airport’s chief marketing and  communications officer.
