Las Vegas-based Allegiant Travel Co. is adding nearly a dozen nonstop flights round the country, including two out of airports in Indiana, the airline announced Monday.
Beginning in mid-June, the airline will offer a flight from Evansville Regional Airport to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport, as well as a flight from South Bend International Airport to McGhee Tyson Airport near Knoxville, Tennessee.
The Evansville and South Bend flights will offer one-way fares as low as $49 and $45, respectively.
“Tampa/St. Pete is one of our most traveled and requested destinations,” Evansville Regional Airport Executive Director Nate Hahn said in a news release. “This route addition at EVV is a testament to the success we’ve had with Allegiant, as we continually remain committed to being a good airport and community partner and respond to passenger demand and airline growth.”
The Evansville route will begin June 13 and the South Bend route will begin June 14.
The new flights are among 10 new routes to 14 cities nationwide announced by Allegiant. Chief Revenue Officer Drew Wells said in the release the expansion caters to passengers and communities the airline feels have been overlooked.
“Allegiant’s unique business model, connecting small-to-medium sized cities to vacation destinations, creates accessible travel options not otherwise available in what we believe are underserved markets,” Wells said. “We know travelers enjoy the convenience of nonstop flights departing from their neighborhood airport.”
