The routes are from Asheville, N.C.; Baltimore; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Cleveland; Columbus, Ohio; Harrisburg, Pa.; Nashville, Tenn.; Richmond, Va.; and Syracuse, N.Y., according to a press release.
“We’re excited to announce this unprecedented expansion in one of the newest destinations in our network — Sarasota,” says Allegiant Vice President of Planning and Revenue Drew Wells in a statement.
The new year-round routes will start in 2019:
The routes will operate twice-weekly and bring nearly 160,000 passengers to the Sarasota-Bradenton area annually, a release says.
“We are very pleased with the success of Allegiant at SRQ,” says Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport President and CEO Rick Piccolo in a statement. "The airport has experienced substantial growth since Allegiant began service in April. The addition of nine new cities will provide our community with many more ultra-low-cost options and we look forward to the continued growth and success of Allegiant at SRQ.”
