There's some good news for local airline travelers, Allegiant Air will begin offering some tickets for $9.99 on its one-way flight from Owensboro to Orlando, Florida.

The airline is pitching in to help the airport qualify for extra funding from the Federal Aviation Administration.

If the airport reaches 10,000 passengers for the year it will qualify for $1 million in capital funding but it will only get $150,000 if it falls even one passenger short of that mark.

The airline will offer the discounted price on a limited number of seats from now until January.
