LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air announced Monday that it will help family members reach victims of Sunday's mass shooting in Las Vegas for free.

A spokeswoman for Allegiant Air said family members should email the airline's communications department, communications@allegiantair.com, for assistance.

Allegiant Air made similar accommodations for families of victims in the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016. The airline will also assist flyers in changing their flights to and from Las Vegas this week.
