Gerald R. Ford International Airport is expanding its reach with Allegiant Air’s introduction of new direct flights to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Jacksonville, Florida. Allegiant’s announcement, as reported byWOODTV, confirms services to Myrtle Beach will begin on May 22 and to Jacksonville on May 23, offering one-way fares as low as $59 to the new destinations.
This expansion is part of Allegiant’s larger initiative, including 44 new routes nationwide beginning in 2025, as detailed byFOX 17 News. The Ford Airport’s portfolio of direct flights will increase to over 30 cities, further establishing West Michigan’s primary airport as a key node in the nation’s aviation network. “This investment from Allegiant Air further connects West Michigan with the world,” said Tory Richardson, president, and CEO of the airport authority, recognizing the value of these additional travel opportunities for the region’s passengers.
In celebrating the expansion, Allegiant is not just facilitating travel to traditional hubs, but also to less frequented destinations. A range of promotional one-way fares starting at $39 have been announced, aiming to attract travelers to explore the new routes. Noted for its ultra-low-cost model, Allegiant continues to capitalize on underserved markets, offering competitive pricing to encourage air travel for leisure customers.
The operational details, including flight days, times, and prices for these new services, are available on the Allegiant website. Moreover, the company has established new routes to destinations across the United States, from Colorado Springs to Gulf Shores providing diverse options for travelers looking to reach both major and regional airports. A full list of the expanded network was shared byKOAA, detailing services to locations like Phoenix, Orange County, and many others with competitive introductory fares.
Allegiant’s strategy reflects an awareness of emerging market trends and an effort to meet the travel needs of smaller regional centers. The additional flights from Ford International support the airline’s focus on expanding accessibility and providing budget-friendly travel options, with 18 direct flights now available from the Grand Rapids airport.
