Allegiant Puts Tucson on Its Route Map

Allegiant on Aug. 21, announced it will start serving Tucson International Airport (TUS) in mid-November with nonstop flights to Bellingham, Washington, just across the border from Vancouver, and to Provo, Utah.  

“We’re thrilled to add another sunny Southwestern destination to our network,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant vice president of planning and revenue. “We are sure that travelers in Utah and Washington will take advantage of our convenient, friendly service to enjoy all that this beautiful region has to offer.”

"When our air service team is out in the community, I cannot tell you how many times they have been asked when Allegiant would serve TUS, and now we have the answer,” said Bonnie Allin, president and CEO of the Tucson Airport Authority. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Allegiant and its new destinations, our first-ever service to Provo and Bellingham, which gives us the opportunity to welcome our Canadian friends to sunny southern Arizona on a nonstop flight.”

Earlier this month Frontier Airlines announced it would also begin serving Tucson in November with nonstop flights to Denver. Both Allegiant and Frontier are known as ultra low cost carriers offering low basic fares and then offering an array of options at additional cost.
