Allegiant Air has announced the launch of two nonstop routes to Burbank, California, and one nonstop route to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, starting in 2026. The announcement was made on X.
According to Simple Flying, Allegiant Air's network strategy focuses on connecting smaller U.S. cities to high-demand leisure markets rather than competing directly with major carriers on hub-to-hub routes. This approach allows Allegiant to avoid congestion at larger airports and maintain low operating costs while providing passengers with affordable nonstop service. The expansion into Burbank and Fort Lauderdale aligns with this model by linking regional airports such as Bellingham and Provo with popular destinations appealing to both leisure and business travelers.
As reported in Allegiant Air’s official newsroom release, the airline will commence nonstop service from Bellingham, Washington, and Provo, Utah, to Burbank, California, in 2026. This marks its first entry into the Burbank market. The carrier emphasized that these new routes will offer travelers easier access to the Los Angeles metropolitan area without transiting through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), one of the world's busiest airports. By targeting Burbank, Allegiant aims to provide a more convenient and cost-effective alternative for travelers in the Pacific Northwest and Utah.
