Report: New Orleans airport likely to lose direct flights from 2 airlines for several months

Two major airlines are likely to stop flying out Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans for at least for several months and perhaps longer, according to a USA Today report.
Alaska Airlines and Allegiant Air are on track to pull service at New Orleans. The airport is included in a list by the Department of Transportation that looks to temporarily restrict service to "help airlines cope with a dearth of passengers and conserve cash amid stay-at-home orders," the report said.
The DOT has reportedly not announced when it would issue a final ruling whether airlines can move forward with the moves.
Alaska Airlines, according to New Orleans' airport website, offers non-stop flights from New Orleans to Seattle and San Francisco.
Allegiant Air offers non-stop flights from New Orleans to Concord, N.C.; Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham and Louisville.
The cuts, the report said, will expire Sept. 30, but officials at airports across the country are concerned they could be permanent.
