Allegiant Air operates out of secondary hubs such as Orlando Sanford International Airport and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport to keep landing fees low and avoid crowded hub‑and‑spoke airports.
The airline’s out‑and‑back routing model, quick gate turns and lower fuel burn enable it to serve small and medium‑sized cities with nonstop leisure flights, and it announced a 30‑route expansion across 35 cities that targets underserved regional points like Gulf Shores International Airport.
Why it matters
Lower landing fees, faster turnarounds and reduced fuel burn lower operating costs for the carrier.
