USA3000 Airlines, which discontinued service to St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport in August because of high fuel prices, continues its re-emergence at the Pinellas County airport.

After offering service to Chicago O'Hare in December, the airline announced Monday that it will resume service from St. Pete-Clearwater to Cleveland Hopkins and St. Louis Lambert airports beginning May 1. Booking is available now.

Service to Chicago continues through April, according to a company news release.

The airline is offering a promo code, NOW, through Sunday for 20 percent off all flights to Florida. The company is offering 10 percent off all Florida flights in May using the promo code MAY.

USA3000 was the second-busiest airline at St. Pete-Clearwater airport before discontinuing service in August to six destinations. Fuel prices added $60 a seat, and the airline said it could not maintain profitability.
