Allegiant Air (G4, Las Vegas Harry Reid) will conclude its Youngstown/Warren operations in January next year, marking the end of scheduled passenger services to the Ohio airfield.

The budget carrier said in a statement to WFMJ news that given weak demand, flights to each of Myrtle Beach International, Orlando Sanford, and St. Petersburg/Clearwater would end on January 4, 2018.

"Demand in the area was simply not high enough to continue service at this time," a spokeswoman said. "Any passengers that have booked travel in or out of Youngstown after that date will be reached out to individually to be refunded or re accommodated. Travellers can still fly with us at nearby airports with Allegiant service, including Cleveland Hopkins Airport and Pittsburgh International Airport."

The Western Reserve Port Authority says it has already engaged with other carriers in an attempt to secure regular passenger services to the airfield following Allegiant's withdrawal.
