Huntsville Airport Welcomes Allegiant Air with Low-Cost Florida Flights!

Exciting changes are brewing at Huntsville International Airport (HSV) as it welcomes Allegiant Air, a new player in the airline industry, set to offer low-cost flights to Florida. Huntsville International Airport announced this much-anticipated addition on August 12, with Allegiant bringing a fresh wave of travel options sure to excite locals and visitors alike.

Allegiant Air is renowned for its budget-friendly fares and direct flights, making it a perfect fit for travelers looking for affordability and convenience. The airline will offer non-stop services to three sunny Florida destinations, with one-way fares starting from just $39. Specifically, the new routes include:

• Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) – flights commence on November 19, 2025, operating on Mondays and Fridays.

Community Spirit and Growth

Barbie Peek, Chief Business Development Officer of Huntsville International Airport, indicated that the demand for leisure travel in the area played a significant role in attracting Allegiant back to Huntsville. In fact, this isn’t the airline’s first venture at HSV; Allegiant previously operated flights from this airport until about 17 years ago when economic factors prompted its departure. However, both the growth of North Alabama and the warm community spirit have paved the way for its return.

Kristen Gonzales, Allegiant’s Vice President of Planning, expressed enthusiasm about re-establishing the airline’s presence in Huntsville. She emphasized the airport’s potential and the forward momentum of the local community, promising that Allegiant aims to invest in Huntsville and support its vibrant economy.

Traveling to Florida Made Easy

The new routes open up a world of possibilities for travelers eager to explore Florida’s beaches, attractions, and nightlife without breaking the bank. With fares this low, it’s a golden opportunity for weekend getaways or extended vacations.

As flights become available for purchase, residents are encouraged to seize this chance to enjoy everything that the Sunshine State has to offer. Allegiant’s commitment to providing affordable and convenient travel options is set to shake things up in Huntsville and beyond.

With the allure of Florida’s coast just a few hours away, it seems that Allegiant Air is banking on Huntsville residents‘ desire for sun, fun, and escape. It’s a move that certainly does a good deal for travel and tourism in the region, making this summer a dream destination for many.
