Allegiant announces new routes from Burbank amid broader network expansion

Hollywood Burbank Airport has seen significant changes recently. Avelo Airlines announced it would end its base at BUR and withdraw all service by December, effectively ending its West Coast operations. In response, Breeze Airways introduced five new routes from Burbank, while Alaska Airlines added three additional West Coast flights earlier this summer.

In addition to the new California services, Allegiant also revealed it will start nonstop flights between Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA) in Tennessee and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), also beginning February 12.

The announcement comes shortly after reports that Allegiant is considering updates to its four-year-old loyalty program. Executives indicated that changes may be forthcoming to make the program more appealing to travelers.
