Allegiant Air (G4, Las Vegas Harry Reid) has announced plans to develop Cincinnati International into a base of operations with effect from January 6, 2016. Local media reports indicate the LCC plans to base three A319-100s and ninety staff at the midwestern hub.
“The Greater Cincinnati area has quickly become one of our strongest markets with a demonstrated demand for low-cost vacation travel,” said Jude Bricker, Allegiant Travel Company senior vice president of planning. “The establishment of an aircraft base at CVG will further increase the efficiency of our operations, while continuing our drive to be Cincinnati’s leading low-fare carrier.”
Currently, Allegiant connects Cincinnati with Austin-Bergstrom International, Fort Lauderdale International, Jacksonville International, FL, Las Vegas Harry Reid, Myrtle Beach International, Orlando Sanford, Phoenix Williams Gateway, Punta Gorda, FL, Savannah International, and St. Petersburg/Clearwater though this number is set to growth once base operations come online.
