Allegiant Air has announced the first commercial arrival at Gulf Shores International Airport with Flight 1403, alongside the launch of six nonstop routes.

According to Fox10TV, the inaugural commercial flight into Gulf Shores took place on May 21, 2025. Flight 1403 from Knoxville landed slightly ahead of schedule and was greeted by cheers and a traditional water cannon salute from the Gulf Shores Fire Department.
