Ultra-low-cost carrier Allegiant is launching four new nonstop routes to and from Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The routes, all of which link Atlantic City to destinations in Florida, will come online later this year and early next year.
“Connecting this vibrant community with several cities across Florida not only strengthens our leisure network, but opens up more affordable and convenient travel options for our customers in both regions,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s chief commercial officer. “It’s a win for travelers seeking sun and sand, and for those who want to experience the coastal charm of the Eastern Seaboard or stroll along Atlantic City’s famed boardwalk.”
Starting Dec. 4, Allegiant will offer flights between Atlantic City and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Service between Atlantic City and St. Petersburg, Sanford, and Punta Gorda – also all in Florida – will begin President’s Day weekend, Feb. 14-16, 2026.
Allegiant has a robust network in Florida, with additional destinations such as Orlando, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, and Key West, among others. In New Jersey, it serves Newark Liberty International Airport.
Allegiant has announced a series of service expansions over the last several weeks and just recently added Huntsville, Alabama, and Fort Myers, Florida, to its network.
Atlantic City International Airport is served directly by fellow ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit and by American via Landline bus service. Allegiant’s move could be an attempt to muscle in on Spirit’s territory as the latter airline faces mounting financial challenges and uncertainty about its ability to continue operations.
Spirit connects Atlantic City with destinations in Florida, including Miami and Orlando. The two airlines will compete directly only on service between Atlantic City and Fort Lauderdale.
