The addition of Gulf Shores International Airport to Allegiant’s expansive network is driven by robust leisure demand and Allegiant’s commitment to providing ultra-low-cost airfare to underserved communities with limited or no air service. A core aspect of Allegiant’s business model is to provide service during peak travel times with strong leisure demand, such as holidays, summer, weekends and school breaks.
"We're thrilled to bring air service to Gulf Shores for the first time in the city's history," said Drew Wells, Allegiant's chief commercial officer. "These new routes will make it easier than ever for travelers to access Alabama's beautiful beaches, while also providing convenient options for local residents. We're committed to offering affordable fares and nonstop flights that make travel a reality for more people."
"Today marks a historic moment for Gulf Shores as we welcome Allegiant to Gulf Shores International Airport," said Mayor Robert Craft. "Bringing scheduled air service to our community has been a goal for many years, and today represents a significant step toward making that a reality. Allegiant's new service will connect Gulf Shores directly to major cities, enhancing the quality of life for residents by providing new convenient travel options. These nonstop routes will also make traveling to Alabama's beaches easier than ever, allowing visitors to enjoy our local shops, restaurants, and everything our area has to offer more frequently. We are grateful for Allegiant's investment in Gulf Shores and look forward to a partnership that will grow for many years to come."
"We are thrilled to announce Allegiant as the first carrier to bring scheduled air service to Gulf Shores International Airport,” said Airport Director Jesse Fosnaugh. “Their business model, low-fares, and expertise in leisure travel aligns perfectly with our community’s long-time vision to bring air service to this community. This announcement is a game-changer."
To celebrate this milestone, Allegiant is offering one-way fares on the new routes out of Gulf Shores as low as $49.
