Atlantic City Welcomes New Allegiant Air Service
Atlantic City, New Jersey, is set to benefit from expanded air travel options as Allegiant Air announces its inaugural flight service to the Atlantic City International Airport (ACY). This marks the airline’s first venture into this location, enhancing accessibility for travelers looking to reach and depart from this bustling region.
Starting December 4, passengers can book one-way flights from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) for as low as $39. The opening of this route aims to foster greater connectivity between Atlantic City and Florida, a popular destination for those seeking warm weather and leisure activities. In addition, Allegiant will launch further routes to St. Pete-Clearwater, Orlando Sanford, and Punta Gorda airports during Presidents’ Day weekend in 2026, promising even more travel possibilities for customers.
Increased Travel Options
The introduction of Allegiant Air’s flights significantly enhances the travel landscape for Atlantic City, especially as the only other commercial airline, Spirit Airlines, has seen a reduction in its service offerings. With Allegiant’s ultra-low-cost business model, travelers can enjoy budget-friendly fares while accessing important routes that were previously underserved.
Based in Las Vegas, Allegiant Air focuses on connecting small cities to popular vacation spots, and the airline operates often without competition on many routes. This strategy serves to cater to passengers in less frequently serviced markets, offering them affordable options to travel to warm-weather destinations.
Corporate Background
Allegiant Air, categorized as an ultra-low-cost carrier, capitalizes on regional tourism trends. The airline’s expansion into Atlantic City is indicative of its broader mission to improve connectivity between underserved markets and prime vacation locations. With its headquarters situated in Las Vegas—renowned for its robust gambling industry, which generated approximately $6.8 billion in gambling revenue through June 2023—Allegiant embodies the fusion of travel and leisure. The Las Vegas Strip alone accounted for around $4.3 billion of this revenue.
Comparatively, New Jersey, home to Atlantic City’s nine casinos and online gaming options, reported about $3.3 billion in gambling revenue during the same period. This financial backdrop highlights the potential for growth in the tourism sector in Atlantic City, buoyed by improved air travel access.
Promotional Offers
To mark its entry into Atlantic City, Allegiant is launching a flash sale on its new Florida routes, featuring limited travel dates at promotional fares. This initiative aims to attract customers who may be eager to explore affordable vacations in sunny destinations.
Allegiant Air’s expansion into Atlantic City not only signifies a new chapter for the airline but also opens up opportunities for residents and visitors alike. As the airline connects Atlantic City with some of Florida’s most celebrated locations, improved travel options offer something for everyone—from vacationers to business travelers seeking cost-effective journeys.
As this new service prepares to commence, both Allegiant and regional stakeholders look forward to the benefits enhanced air connectivity will bring to the local economy and tourism landscape.
