Allegiant Air Expands Network with 44 New Routes in 2025
Allegiant Air has announced a major expansion, introducing 44 new nonstop routes in 2025, including service to three new cities: Gulf Shores, Alabama; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Columbia, South Carolina. This marks one of the largest expansions in the airline’s history, driven by strong leisure demand and a commitment to connecting underserved U.S. communities.
New Destinations and Routes
The new flights, set to begin in February, will bring Allegiant’s network to 51 cities nationwide. Highlights include 10 new routes to Florida, such as service from Akron-Canton, Ohio, to Jacksonville International Airport and from Columbia Metropolitan Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport. Despite Florida’s saturated market, Allegiant will target unserved city pairs, becoming the sole operator on all 10 Sunshine State routes.
Allegiant will also resume service on two previously operated routes that last flew in 2022. Overall, the airline will hold a monopoly on 39 of its 44 new routes, while competing on only seven. Even in competitive markets, Allegiant will remain the sole ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC), going head-to-head with major airlines like Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United.
Strategic Growth Amid Challenges
Allegiant’s focus on leisure travel aligns with periods of high demand, including holidays, summer, and school breaks. This strategy supports the airline’s goal of making travel affordable and accessible, especially for families and underserved regions.
The announcement comes as Allegiant continues to recover from the operational disruptions caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which impacted 25% of its seat capacity and markets representing 37% of its fourth-quarter (Q4) seats. The storms, which struck Florida’s west coast, are projected to reduce Q4 revenue by $30-$40 million.
A Vision for Growth
Allegiant CCO Drew Wells emphasized the airline’s commitment to expanding connectivity. “By connecting more cities, we’re making it easier for travelers to visit family and friends [and] access top leisure destinations,” Wells said.
The expansion not only strengthens Allegiant’s East Coast presence but also underscores its role as a leader in leisure-focused travel, delivering affordable, convenient options to passengers across the U.S.
