Allegiant will end all flights to Los Angeles, an airline spokesperson confirmed on Monday. The ultra-low-cost carrier began serving the California city in 2009.
Its two remaining routes from Los Angeles to Cincinnati and Bellingham, Washington, are scheduled to end in January, according to Cirium Diio schedule data. Enilria also flagged the news.
A Shift
The spokesperson told AirlineGeeks that the move is part of a broader shift to Burbank, California, where the airline recently announced new service to Provo, Utah, along with Bellingham.
“Burbank’s lower operating costs and streamlined gate and facility usage allow us to offer more attractive fares to our customers while creating a better working environment for our team members,” the spokesperson said. “With a new terminal slated to open in late 2026, the BUR experience is only set to improve.”
Allegiant has been winding down operations in Los Angeles for months, citing higher operating costs. This month, the airline shut down its crew base at the airport.
“With LAX’s per-passenger costs projected to reach nearly $64 by 2031 (per Fitch Ratings), we’ve chosen to pivot toward a more sustainable and value-oriented model in the LA basin,” the spokesperson continued.
The airline’s last flights from Los Angeles are currently scheduled for Jan. 3.
