Earlier today, Allegiant Air announced it would move its operations at Nashville International Airport to the new satellite concourse.
Nashville International Airport has been undergoing a series of renovations, with a new international arrivals facility opening last month, and a new satellite concourse opening in the coming days. In anticipation of the opening of the new satellite concourse, Allegiant Air announced it would move its operations from the B concourse to the satellite concourse this Saturday, October 21.
Allegiant highlighted that its passengers will now experience a state-of-the-art facility when traveling through Music City, improving their experience.
"We are excited to have a new home at BNA. The new satellite concourse will give us the flexibility to better serve our customers. 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." - Drew Wells, Senior Vice President of Planning and Revenue and Chief Revenue Officer
Allegiant first began serving Nashville in 2018, and since then, has transported nearly two million passengers through the Tennessee capital. Two years after its first flight in Nashville, Allegiant established a base there with three aircraft, creating 66 new jobs between flight and ground crews. Beyond that, the airline invested $50 million in infrastructure and equipment. Since 2020, a fourth aircraft has been added to the base and the BNA team has grown to 111 staff.
According to Cirium, there are 18,835 flights scheduled to and from Nashville International Airport this month. Southwest Airlines has the largest market share by far, nearly three times as many as its next closest competitor, American Airlines. Allegiant has the sixth-largest market share, with 616 flights on 25 routes in October. Throughout the year, the low-cost carrier serves 31 destinations and faces no competition on 19 of them.
It is interesting to note that none of Allegiant's routes in October are served daily. The two busiest routes, to Des Moines and Grand Rapids, each have four weekly flights. Allentown and Syracuse each have four weekly flights starting on the second week of the month. Fargo, Flint, St. Peterburg, Pittsburgh, Richmond, and Fayetteville have three weekly flights. All of these routes except Pittsburgh, which also has service from Southwest Airlines, are uncontested.
Allegiant also serves Appleton, Cedar Rapids, Sioux Falls, Punta Gorda, Orlando-Sanford, Albany, Bozeman, Akron, Washington-Dulles, Harrisburg, Peoria, Providence, Provo, Sarasota, and Jacksonville from Nashville. All destinations are served with the two aircraft types Allegiant currently has in its fleet, the Airbus A319 and A320, with most of the flights being operated by the A320. Of the 616 flights in October, 594 are on the A320s. Allegiant's entire fleet, which comprises 129 Airbus aircraft, has an average age of 16.4 years. In coming years, the fleet will be renewed with Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, the 737-7 and 737-8-200.
