BALTIMORE — WMAR-2 News recently received a tip about an airline halting services at BWI Airport.
We're talking about Allegiant Air.
A viewer alerted us the company's website no longer offers bookings out of BWI.
The Airport doesn't seem to reference the airline on their webpage either.
Actually, the airline nor airport appears to have mentioned each other on their websites since 2021.
So, we became curious and decided to check things out by contacting Allegiant directly.
Here's Allegiant's response.
"In response to shifting customer demand, Allegiant ended service at Baltimore/Washington International Airport in December 2024.
To give you some background, Allegiant is unique among airlines as a low-cost carrier that is 100 percent focused on leisure travel. Our business model is built to give us the flexibility to start and stop service as industry dynamics evolve, so it is not unusual for us to close a station. We remain committed to serving our passengers’ needs and our network planning team will continue to assess our current and past markets and adjust service accordingly."
We reached out to BWI as well, but haven't heard back.
Locals who enjoyed flying Allegiant still can out of Hagerstown (HGR), which offers a limited number of flights to Forida (SFB & PIE) and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (MYR).
Hopefully this helps, in case you were wondering what happened to Allegiant at BWI.
