Airline Relocates to New Free-Standing
Concourse Beginning Oct. 21
LAS
VEGAS, Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today
Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) announced it will relocate
its Nashville International
Airport's® (BNA®) operations from Concourse B to the brand new
Satellite Concourse, setting the stage for the airline's next phase
of growth at BNA.
The Las Vegas-based airline
will begin operating at the C Gate Satellite Concourse Saturday,
Oct. 21. Allegiant passengers will now board and deplane
their aircraft in a new state-of-the-art facility designed to
enhance their overall travel experience.
The move will allow the leisure travel-focused carrier to offer
a more robust schedule of flights that includes opportunities for
future expansion at BNA. Allegiant passengers will also be able to
enjoy the amenities the new facility offers, such as expanded
seating areas and dining and vendor options, while waiting for
their flights.
"We are excited to have a new home at BNA. The new satellite
concourse will give us the flexibility to better serve our
customers," said Drew Wells,
Allegiant's senior vice president of planning and revenue and chief
revenue officer. "Nashville is a
key part of our network, and this added capacity and new
infrastructure will give us opportunity for even more future
convenient and affordable travel options at BNA, while bringing
economic and tourism benefits to the communities in Music
City."
"The opening of our new Satellite Concourse is a milestone for
BNA as we continue to work to accommodate the exponential growth
we're experiencing while simultaneously enhancing the passenger
experience," said Doug Kreulen,
president and CEO of BNA. "We are thrilled to have Allegiant
Airlines as one of our key partners in the opening of our new
Satellite Concourse and welcome in their next phase of growth here
at BNA."
Since beginning service in 2018, Allegiant has flown more than
1.9 million passengers through BNA. In February 2020, Allegiant established BNA as a
three-aircraft base of operations, creating 66 new high-wage jobs
in the process and investing $50
million in infrastructure and equipment. Nashville, a booming city known for its rich
cultural history, iconic music and world-class culinary scenes, has
quickly become one of the most popular destinations in the country.
Allegiant's service has proven to be so popular that the airline
added a fourth aircraft and additional crews and team members to
better serve its BNA customers. Currently, the airline employs
111 team members at BNA.
Allegiant now serves 31 cities from BNA throughout the year. Of
those cities, 19 routes are unique to Allegiant – meaning no other
airlines offer nonstop service on those routes. In July 2023, Allegiant announced it will add new
service to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
beginning November 16.
