Allegiant Travel Company today announced plans to establish a base of operations at Nashville International Airport (BNA). The Las Vegas-based company will invest $50 million to establish the new base, creating at least 66 new, high-wage jobs and housing two Airbus aircraft.
The company, which focuses on linking travelers in small-to-medium cities to world-class leisure destinations, plans to begin its base operations in Nashville on February 13, 2020. The music city airport will become the airline’s 19th aircraft base.
Allegiant began operating at BNA in 2018 and currently offers twelve nonstop routes – Sanford, St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Punta Gorda and Sarasota/Bradenton, Florida; Harrisburg and Lehigh Valley (ABE), Pennsylvania; Bentonville/Fayetteville, Arkansas; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Syracuse, New York; Cleveland, Ohio and Richmond, Virginia. During 2019 to date, Allegiant has flown more than 177,000 passengers through Nashville (January through September).
