OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Allegiant Air and Red Way Airlines have launched new nonstop routes from Nebraska to a handful of major cities throughout the United States.
In February, Allegiant announced new routes originating in Omaha and flying to Austin, Portland, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Phoenix, Asheville, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
It doesn't appear that all those routes are available as of yet, but Eppley Airfield celebrated the first Allegiant flight to Austin on Thursday.
