Allegiant’s Growth at SRQ Airport Marked by 8 New Routes

| Suncoast Post Staff |

Allegiant Air continues to expand its footprint at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), strengthening its position as the airport’s largest carrier. With a total of 35 nonstop routes, Allegiant offers more destinations from SRQ than any other airline, providing travelers with expanded access to and from Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The Las Vegas-based airline, which operates nearly half of its total capacity in Florida, first launched at SRQ in 2018 with just three routes. Since then, its presence has grown significantly, now serving 27 destinations from Sarasota-Bradenton, plus eight new routes that debuted in November 2024, bringing the total to 35.

Allegiant executives reaffirmed their commitment to SRQ last month at the opening of the airport’s newest concourse, Concourse A, which officially opened in January. The carrier’s growth at SRQ has solidified its role as a leading low-cost travel option for passengers flying to Florida’s Gulf Coast.
