Allegiant Air plans huge expansion in 2025, 44 new routes and three new cities
Allegiant Air, the Las Vegas-based airline and integrated travel company has begun one of the largest expansion drives in its 27-year history. The carrier will add 44 new nonstop routes plus three new city destinations to its expansive route network in 2025, as the company receives more new aircraft and recruits more employees.
The expansion program will add new routes to Gulf Shores Airport (GUF) in Alabama, Colorado Springs Airport (COS) in Colorado, and Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) in South Carolina. To mark the launch of the program, the airline has begun a fare sale, with seats on the new routes beginning at $39 one-way. The new flights, starting in February 2025, will expand the airline’s network options to 51 cities around the US.
“We’re excited to announce that Allegiant is expanding nationwide, offering even more travel options to our customers,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s chief commercial officer. “These additions reflect our ongoing commitment to meet customer demand. By connecting more cities, we’re making it easier for travelers to visit family and friends, access top leisure destinations, and create new memories. Our research shows that customers increasingly want affordability and convenience when they fly. Our low-cost fares and nonstop flights make Allegiant a top choice for leisure travelers.”
According to a statement issued by the carrier, the addition of these new routes marks one of Allegiant’s largest service expansions in its history, which “is driven by robust leisure demand and the company’s commitment to providing ultra-low-cost airfare to underserved communities with limited or no air service. A core aspect of Allegiant’s business model is to provide service during periods with strong leisure demand, such as holidays, summer, weekends, and school breaks.”
