USA 3000 will soon be ending service at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport. Airport Director Noah Lagos says the airline is also shutting down service in Sarasota, Ft. Lauderdale, and Melbourne. USA 3000 will continue serving the Ft. Myers market.
Lagos says, "It will have a large effect on us." Last year USA 3000 served 300,000 passengers at St. Petersburg-Clearwater. That represents about 30 percent of all flights at the airport.
Lagos says the airline is leaving because high fuel costs make serving those Florida airports unprofitable. The airport director says he is always marketing the facility but is not aware of any airline that might be interested in replacing USA 3000. Flights at St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport will end on August eighteenth.
