Allegiant Air, a nine-year-old airline that operates a fleet that includes 20 MD-80 jets, announced Monday it will provide nonstop service from Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport to Las Vegas.

Flights will start April 5 with a limited introductory one-way fare of $69.

The announcement comes a week after Allegiant announced the start of non-stop Las Vegas service from Billings, Mont. on March 31, with introductory fares of as little as $59 one-way.

Waco aviation officials were hoping last summer that Allegiant would add Waco Regional Airport to its schedule, but talks between the airline and a local jet fuel provider fell apart just days before the start of service was to have been announced.

The new $83 million Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport opened for business in August 2004 after years of planning and work.

The new three-story terminal building shares a 10,000 foot runway with Fort Hood’s Robert Gray Army Airfield—almost twice as long as the 5,500 foot runway at the old airport.

Allegiant joins American Eagle and Continental in providing Killeen service.
