Technically speaking, Pittsburgh International Airport will lose nonstop flights to two more destinations later this month. But at the same time it won't lose nonstop service to either location.
USA 3000 will drop nonstop commercial service to Cancun, Mexico, and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, from Pittsburgh on Dec. 13. But a week later, on Dec. 20, Apple Vacations will begin offering nonstop charter service to those same locations, in partnership with AirTran Airways.
With the changes, the airport -- technically at least -- will lose one of its 13 airlines and two of the 38 nonstop commercial destinations it had as of Sept. 30. AirTran is not counting either of the trips as a commercial flight.
Nonetheless, airport spokeswoman JoAnn Jenny said the effect on travelers should be minimal. She said USA 3000 and Apple Vacations also worked in partnership and that the majority of travelers who took the commercial flights booked through Apple.
