The Natrona County International Airport will see its flight destinations cut by a third after Allegiant Air’s decision to discontinue services to the small airport located just outside of Casper.
In 2008, Allegiant Airlines began offering direct flights from Casper to Las Vegas for a discounted price, but that bargain flight will come to halt in 2018.
Natrona County International Airport Director Glen Januska said the discontinuation is part of Allegiant’s newest business strategy to focus on larger markets. Januska said there aren’t as many carriers interested in smaller markets, but it could be a good opportunity for a start-up airline.
Januska said the Vegas service will be available until January 1.
“Anybody who is looking at doing this, or has never taken the service in the past, or has and is thinking about going on vacation or a getaway this is a great opportunity,” said Januska.
The airport will continue to offer connections through Salt Lake City from Delta and through Denver from United.
