Allegiant Air and Breeze Airways have both announced the addition of seven new routes each, expanding their networks to include new cities and increasing connectivity across the United States.
Allegiant Air will introduce Fort Myers as its 12th airport in Florida, marking the first time it has served this city directly. The carrier has previously used Punta Gorda to serve the region. With these changes, Allegiant will operate flights from both Fort Myers and Punta Gorda, similar to its dual operations at Orlando International and Sanford airports.
All seven of Allegiant’s new routes are scheduled to begin in time for Thanksgiving. While some routes may start with three weekly services due to holiday demand, most will settle into a standard frequency of two flights per week. These new connections include Fort Myers to Allentown, Appleton, and Des Moines; Fort Wayne to Fort Lauderdale; Nashville to Gulf Shores; Toledo to Sarasota; and Punta Gorda to New Orleans. Except for the Fort Wayne-Fort Lauderdale route—which was last operated by Allegiant until May 2008—all other airport pairs are currently unserved by any airline.
