Southwest adding 3 nonstop destinations from Pittsburgh International Airport next summer

Southwest Airlines will add three new nonstop routes from Pittsburgh International Airport next summer, starting Saturday service to Panama City, Florida; Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; and Savannah, Georgia for the summer season. In addition, the airport says Southwest will increase frequencies on existing routes to Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Florida; Cancun, Mexico; Tampa, Florida; and Las Vegas, Nevada. The airport notes Florida is a major market for Pittsburgh, with more than one in four passengers traveling to the Sunshine State. Southwest first launched Pittsburgh service in 2005 with four destinations and has since grown to 25 nonstop destinations, carrying 26% of passengers—more than any other airline—per airport figures.
