Allegiant Air has been operating at CVG since February 2014 and currently serves 22 destinations from the airport. It faces competition from other ultra-low-cost carriers like Frontier Airlines but maintains a strong presence.

Founded in January 1997, Allegiant is a major ultra-low-cost carrier in the US. After financial challenges during COVID-19, it returned to profitability in 2023 with a net income of $117.60 million. Allegiant follows a low-cost model similar to Southwest Airlines and plans to replace its Airbus A320s with Boeing 737 MAX aircraft due to recent orders.
