Today marks only the beginning of our investment in the community.”

Huntsville International Airport hosted the press conference today featuring remarks from the Mayor of Huntsville, Tommy Battle; Huntsville International Airport Board Chair Joey Ceci; Huntsville International Airport CEO, Butch Roberts; Madison County Commission Chairman Mac McCutcheon; and Schilling-Gonzales. The event highlighted the airline’s commitment to Huntsville and their investment in the community.

“Today, we are not only celebrating the return of Allegiant, we are celebrating the fruits of our community choosing to fly Huntsville first,” Ceci said. “Huntsville International is attracting great airline partners like Allegiant because airlines are taking notice that there is demand in Huntsville and North Alabama for quality, affordable air service that Allegiant provides.”

The new routes, launching later this year and in early 2026, will provide convenient, nonstop service between these cities and expand Allegiant’s growing presence in popular leisure destinations.
