Its a mixed bag of news for Gateway Airport today. Allegiant Airlines has agreed to a $3 million dollar loan to help expand the passenger terminal. However, Vision Airlines has also announced that they are no longer going to offer service.
It looks like this news is more good than bad, since Allegiant flies to 15 cities, while Vision only flies to two out of Gateway. Rising gas prices and the state of the economy probably have a greater deal to do with the exit of Vision, but it does impact the perception of the long-term success potential of the airport when people are forced to close up shop.
As the development around the airport continues, we'll probably see more changes. Hopefully, one of the next steps will be to lure one or more of the other major carriers to offer some smaller flights into the area and begin to offer it as a viable alternative for commercial and corporate travel.
ETA: I did indeed mean more good than bad. Thanks for the catch.

I think you mean more good than bad since Allegiant flies to 15 different destinations and is actually expanding nicely.
