Allegiant Makes One Its Largest Route Expansions
19.11.2024 - 06:53 / skift.com / Sunshine State / Allegiant Air / Meghna Maharishi
Allegiant Air is launching one of its largest route expansions in its history, adding 44 nonstop routes to its network.
The ultra-low-cost carrier is also adding three more destinations to its map: Gulf Shores, Alabama, Colorado Springs, and Columbia, South Carolina.
Drew Wells, Allegiant’s chief commercial officer, said the 44 routes had “both the best opportunity as well as the operational capacity.” Unlike some of the larger ultra-low-cost carriers like Spirit and Frontier, Allegiant’s business model relies on connecting underserved areas to popular leisure destinations.
“For us, it’s trying to find the areas of opportunity that are unserved or underserved that have service matching the level of demand that we believe exists, particularly at our fair price point,” Wells told Skift.
Allegiant is also increasing its capacity in Florida, adding new routes in Sarasota, Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. Florida has been one of the more oversaturated markets since the pandemic, prompting most low-cut carriers to cut capacity in the state.
Wells said Allegiant has been bullish on Florida because it is connecting underserved cities to the Sunshine State.
“Florida, the state certainly has a ton of seats and capacity going into it,” Wells said. “But we think about the other end of the city pairs that we’re linking. We’re creating or flying into a new set of demand that has not been served well, even if Florida as a whole has been.”
The carrier recently reported a net loss of $36.2 million for the third quarter as its revenue took a hit from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Allegiant also appointed a new CEO in July, who has been vocal about renewing Allegiant’s core focus as an airline. The carrier owns and operates a vacation resort in southwest Florida.
At the Skift Aviation Forum in Dallas, Wells emphasized how different Allegiant is from its competitors.
“I don’t view it as much as change as coming back to our roots,” Wells said.

This Obscure Heirloom Pumpkin Makes a Fantastic Pie
I just wrapped up my first year of gardening in the Mojave Desert, specifically in the Las Vegas Valley. I watched as plants sizzled in the sun after one missed watering, and most of my vegetables simply gave up on life as temperatures topped 115 degrees in May. But one plant I put into the ground, as a curious experiment, was a surprising success: the Long Island cheese pumpkin. And it turns out, adaptable heirlooms like this squash might be the key to not just gardening in the desert, but adapting the food production system to climate change.
