In addition, Allegiant Air will begin service to four new popular destinations in November, including the airline’s first nonstop service between Arizona and Florida.

Our partnership creates a significant economic impact on the entire region.”
“As the greater Phoenix market continues to expand to the south and east and an increasing number of sun-seeking visitors discover the value and convenience of Gateway Airport, Gateway Airport’s role in the region is changing,” added PMGAA Executive Director/CEO J. Brian O’Neill, A.A.E.
