US budget carrier Allegiant announces big expansion - 3 new cities & 44 nonstop routes

The US budget carrier Allegiant announced 44 new nonstop routes, including 14 routes to three new cities: Chicago, Boston and Houston, in what it calls the carriers largest-ever expansion programme.  

This major addition to service is driven by Allegiant's goal of connecting leisure travellers in underserved cities to popular destinations around the country. Most of the 44 new routes are non-competitive, with no other airline providing service between those airports.

"There is a lot of leisure demand for cities that are regional destinations, and this route expansion will address some of that need," said Drew Wells, Allegiant vice president of planning and revenue. "Also, this growth is about Allegiant being true to our mission as a company. We're increasing the number of low-cost, affordable travel options for people who may otherwise be priced out of air travel."
