Allegiant Travel Company (Allegiant Air) today announced plans to establish a four-aircraft base atย Provo Airport (PVU). The Las Vegas-based company will invest approximately $95 million to establish the new base of operations, creating at least 157 new, high-wage jobs.

The company, which focuses on linking travelers in small-to-medium cities to world-class leisure destinations, plans to begin its base operations in Provo on Nov.ย 16, 2022.

Allegiant began operating atย PVU inย 2013 and currently offers eight non-stopย routes โ€“ Austin and Houston, Texas; St. Pete-Clearwater, Florida; Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona; and Palm Springs, Los Angeles and Orange County, California. To date, Allegiant has flown more than 700,000 passengers through Provo.

The formula appears to be working as Provo is now the second busiest airport in Utah.

Allegiant, which employs more than 4,300ย team members across the U.S., plans to immediately begin hiring pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and ground personnelย to support the operations.
