Allegiant Airlines is set to cease operations out of Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport.   The airport manager confirmed the news yesterday, saying the carrier decided to end its twice-weekly flights because there weren’t enough people in the seats.  The Las Vegas-based airline began offering flights between Santa Rosa and Las Vegas and Mesa, Arizona in May 2016.  The carrier ceased flights to Arizona on January 2nd, and will end flights to Las Vegas on July 30th.
