en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ultra-low-cost carrier Allegiant Air is adjusting its Florida-centric route network. According to the airline's data analysis, Florida will account for 63% of its operational activities from June to December 2026, involving a total of 564 domestic routes.

Based on Cirium Diio data analysis, comparing Allegiant Air's route network from Florida between January 2025 and May 2026 with its planned operations starting June 2026, 34 routes have been canceled. Meanwhile, the airline plans to launch only 10 new routes between June and December 2026. Although the Florida network has shrunk in scale, the year-over-year increase in flight numbers still reaches 5%, reflecting the company's focus on concentrating capacity in high-density markets.

Allegiant Air serves 12 airports in Florida, including Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Key West, Melbourne, Orlando International Airport (MCO), Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB), Palm Beach, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, and Tampa-St. Petersburg. Route cuts involve eight of these airports.

Among the markets analyzed, the Minot, North Dakota route is representative. This route, originating from SFB, was the airline's third-longest and operated from November 2023 to April 2025. U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) data shows the route carried 35,986 round-trip passengers with a load factor of 79.1%, 5 percentage points below Allegiant's system-wide average during the same period. The same data indicates the ULCC's average one-way fare for SFB-Minot was $69. Compared to its only remaining SFB-to-North Dakota route, the Fargo route had fares 32% higher but shorter flight distances and lower operating costs.

Additionally, Allegiant has terminated several routes, including Destin-Fort Walton Beach to Minneapolis, and Jacksonville to Norfolk. The Palm Beach to Indianapolis route operated from November 2019 to April 2025, carrying 57,040 passengers with a load factor of only 61.8%. On this route, Allegiant held just 22% market share, with most travelers choosing Delta Air Lines via Atlanta or American Airlines via Charlotte.

Routes from Punta Gorda to Minneapolis, New Orleans, Plattsburgh, Richmond, Savannah, and the Tri-Cities area, as well as from Sarasota to Elmira, Minneapolis, Moline, Plattsburgh, Portsmouth, and Roanoke, are also no longer in the plans. Routes from Tampa-St. Petersburg to Bismarck, McAllen, Norfolk, and Savannah have been canceled as well. Among these, the route connecting the border city of McAllen operated from June 2024 to March 2025, with DOT data showing it carried 10,808 passengers and a load factor of only 59.0%.
