Allegiant Air has recently announced the company's plans for operational expansion, which included additional nonstop flights from Memphis, Tennessee and Des Moines, Iowa to Phoenix, Arizona. The expansion will begin in December.
On Wednesday, Allegiant Air announced the additional nonstop flights from Memphis International Airport to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport will operate two times a week start on Dec. 17. According to Chron, the airline is also offering introductory one-way flights for as low as at $71 in celebration of the new service. And to get the rate, customers are advised to purchase their tickets by Sept.14, for a May 17, 2016 travel date. More information about this offer can be found on Allegiant's website.
The latest Allegiant Air Phoenix flights to Memphis will now bring a total of six destinations, in addition to Austin, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Orlando-Sanford and St-Peterburg-Clearwater. And by the end of 2015, the airline company will operate 12 Memphis flight per week, Steelers Lounge revealed.
Aside from Memphis, Allegiant is also starting nonstop flights to Phoenix-Mesa airport from Fresno, California, and Des Moines, Iowa. And the operational expansion in Des Moines will start on Dec 18. It will bring up to 20 nonstop flight offerings in Des Moines International Airport.
"Allegiant is excited to be growing again in Des Moines with the addition of these new flights to Phoenix," Allegiant Travel Company Senior Vice President of Planning Jude Bricker said, as per WHOtv.com. "We're certain Des Moines travelers will appreciate the convenience of a nonstop, low-cost option to this popular winter escape with its warm winters and world class golf courses."
Meanwhile, Des Moines International Airport Executive Director Kevin Foley said that the Allegiant's additional nonstop flights to Phoenix will surely help strengthen the airport's growth.
"Our growth this year has slowed slightly, here in Des Moines, because we didn't have additional seats," Foley said. "This is a 150 passenger aircraft — approximately a 150 passenger aircraft — operating twice a week, so that's 300 seats a week increase in and out of Des Moines. So yes, it will increase passenger traffic throughout the terminal."
