"The addition of Allegiant Air service to Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport will be a tremendous boost to the Mississippi Gulf Coast's tourism industry," said Bruce Frallic, Airport Director. "We are excited to welcome Allegiant to our market, and we look forward to building a strong business relationship with them."

The carrier will utilize full-size, 150-seat, MD-80 series jet aircraft on the routes. The airline said its market research and input from local community leaders indicate that the Mississippi's Gulf Coast area will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to both Las Vegas and Orlando as an alternative to connecting flights or long drives to other airports.
