You didn’t have to wait long for confirmation that Atlantic City flights to Orlando, Florida and elsewhere from Atlantic City International Airport will resume in the foreseeable future.

All of this is as a result of Spirit Air announcing that it has discontinued all operations effective immediately.

Congressman Van Drew has been working this situation hard since things were pointing to Spirit Air’s unfortunate demise.

Both Breeze Airways and Allegiant Air both have agreed to provide additional flights.

Congressman Van Drew Released The Following Statement Tonight

The Department of Transportation is working with major airlines to cap fares and help stranded passengers get where they need to go, while also opening doors for Spirit employees to find new opportunities across the aviation industry, said Congressman Van Drew. That is the right approach to stabilize things quickly and protect people caught in the middle of this situation. Here at home, we are prepared. Atlantic City International Airport is in a strong position, and I want to recognize the South Jersey Transportation Authority for doing the work ahead of time to handle challenges like this. Allegiant and Breeze are already positioned at Atlantic City and ready to step up and expand services where needed. I will do anything I can to help. My office is in contact with stakeholders, and we are focused on making sure South Jersey families and workers are supported every step of the way., said Van Drew.

No Official Word Yet From Allegiant Air
