Las Vegas-based Allegiant Travel Company announced service to Gulf Shores and two other cities Tuesday, including Colorado Springs and Columbia, South Carolina. Flights will begin in late May of next year, right after the temporary terminal is finished.
) - In a major announcement Tuesday, November 19, 2024, Allegiant Air announced commercial passenger air service in and out of Gulf Shores International Airport beginning May 21, 2025. Tuesday’s announcement was the final piece in bringing this level of service to the Alabama gulf coast.
Allegiant Air VP of Planning and Revenue, Kristen Shilling-Gonzales speaks to crowd gathered at Gulf Shores International Airport for the announcement“Six-point-four million visitors came to Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Fort Morgan…our beaches in 2023,” said Gulf Shores mayor, Robert Craft. “That is amazing. We also have grown our permanent population. Approximately fifty thousand people now live from Foley-south.
“It’s more, where are people already coming from? How can we make this easier for them to come more often, for shorter trips, for longer trips? Maybe you’ve got a second home down here and you want to be able to come down on weekends. Now that’s possible,” said VP of Planning and Revenue for Allegiant, Kristen Schilling-Gonzales. “It was maybe a ten-twelve-hour drive before, but the non-stop flights I think are going to be really helpful for that.
“Their commitment and their early interest and their belief in the community. To come in here and start with six different destinations and still to be determined how many flights are going to be made per week, but it’s a jump start. It’s not a little, easy start. It’s a big start,” Craft said.
