NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 19, 2016 — Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) today launches nonstop flights to the Big Easy from Pittsburgh. The company, known for its exceptional travel deals, is offering one-way fares as low as $57*.
"We're very excited to launch these nonstop flights from Pittsburgh to New Orleans," said Jude Bricker, Allegiant chief operating officer. "Allegiant looks forward to bringing more visitors and economic growth to the Big Easy with our unique brand of low-cost, convenient service."
The new, year-round flights will operate twice weekly and expand on the flights Allegiant currently operates to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). The flights will bring nearly 17,000 additional visitors each year to the New Orleans area and generate an estimated $15.4 million annually in total visitor spending. Flight days, times and the lowest fares can be found only at Allegiant.com.
"We are very pleased to welcome Allegiant's nonstop service from Pittsburgh," said Iftikhar Ahmad, director of aviation for Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. "Pittsburgh has been one of our top markets unserved by a nonstop flight."
Allegiant's innovative business model has allowed it to grow from one plane and one route to offering access to low-cost flights in over 100 cities nationwide, more than any other domestic low-cost carrier. Allegiant passengers can enjoy unique savings by bundling their air, hotel, car and even activity and attraction reservations together for less.
