Allegiant Air was forced to cancel more than 30 flights after the shipment of a new plane was delayed, leaving dozens of passengers stranded. The airline advised that flights out of Punta Gorda (PGD) as well as Destin/Fort Walton Beach and Orlando/Sanford could have longer-than-normal wait times for the next few days. Allegiant passenger Robert Craig expressed his frustrations with the airline. “To be honest, if I had known I would have never booked a flight with Allegiant,” Craig said. “I would have paid a few dollar(s) extra to book Delta or whoever else.” The airline said some of the new planes recently purchased haven’t been delivered yet.
