WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita, Kan. scores a hole-in-one with the first Allegiant Air flight to Phoenix-Mesa, Ariz. To celebrate the launch of Wichita’s only nonstop service to Arizona the low-cost airline is offering fares to Phoenix for as low as $59.99* one-way.

“We are extremely pleased to offer the Wichita community yet another sunny vacation destination,” Maurice J. Gallagher Jr., Allegiant Travel Company CEO, said. “This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we launch the only nonstop, all-jet service between Wichita and Phoenix.”

We congratulate Allegiant Air on this new route and wish them continued success.”
