BANGOR -- At a time when most airlines are cutting back flights, low-fare carrier Allegiant Air is expanding its flight schedule out of Maine.

Allegiant last year began offering nonstop jet service between Bangor International Airport and Sanford, Fla., near Orlando.

Airport officials say Allegiant will offer additional flights during the peak winter season from February through May.

Since its first flight out of Bangor a year ago, Allegiant has carried nearly 32,000 customers between Maine and Florida.
