Quad City to Have New Flights to Tampa
MOLINE, Ill. (AP) -- Authorities at Quad City International Airport say Allegiant Air now has plans for nonstop flights between the Moline field and Tampa, Fla.

Allegiant announced plans for the Tampa flights Wednesday, only a few months after adding nonstop flights to Las Vegas and Phoenix-Mesa.

Airport officials say the Tampa flights will begin Feb. 18, and there will be two a week.
Airport board chairman Bruce Carter tells the (Moline Dispatch) he was surprised be the announcement because Allegiant officials had earlier said they were not planning any additional growth for at least a year.

Other airlines that use Quad City International include United Express, American Eagle, Delta, and AirTran.
