Airport officials say they’re excited to offer more options to their customers.
“This is going to give us two more days during the week that folks can fly to Orlando nonstop from Huntsville. It gives them a second airline to choose from. We already have nonstop flights on Breeze. We’re really excited about the competitiveness in the fares and the availability of more flights for our customers here,” Mary Swanstrom said.
And this is just one of many Allegiant routes coming to Huntsville International.
