Residents were stoked to hear that they can now book flights straight out of Rockford to LAX and Nashville. It's more convenient, easier to navigate through the airport, and just a stress-free process when there aren't a thousand people trying to get through TSA, like at O'Hare.

Both destinations were seasonal and scheduled to run through late November. Now, Allegiant's last flight to LAX will be on October 13th and Nashville on October 28th.

According to a recent report, a cost-reduction measure is the reason for the route cuts, with delays in deliveries of Boeing aircraft causing Allegiant to incur “significant expenses,” according to President Greg Anderson, as well as a “loss of pilot productivity awaiting delivery of the 737 MAX aircraft.” [mystateline]
