Allegiant Travel Company is gearing up for a major network expansion in 2026. Today, it unveiled 30 nonstop routes that will link 35 US cities including four brand-new airports for the low-cost carrier.
The airline is known for connecting underserved small and mid-sized cities to top leisure destinations. It will now add:
- Columbia Regional Airport (COU)
- La Crosse Regional Airport (LSE)
- Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
- Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN)
The new flights will roll out during the first half of 2026 and are designed to offer travelers more nonstop access to vacation destinations without the hassle of connections. Allegiant continues to lean into its niche: serving value-conscious leisure travelers who want simple, affordable, point-to-point service.
This expansion strengthens Allegiant’s national footprint as Americans continue seeking cost-effective travel options. The airline’s focus on low fares and customer-friendly policies has helped fuel its growth in recent years, and the addition of four new cities signals continued momentum.

Drew Wells, Allegiant’s Chief Commercial Officer, said:
We’re thrilled to continue Allegiant’s growth by adding these new routes. Our mission has always been to connect travelers to world-class destinations at an affordable price. These additions provide convenient options for leisure travelers and reflect our commitment to expanding service where demand is strong. As we grow, we remain focused on delivering the most value to our customers.”
Anthony’s Take: The most interesting part of this expansion is the addition of Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN). Frontier Airlines has been the only commercial carrier serving the NJ airport for quite some time. Let’s see how Allegiant fares here.
