Allegiant Travel Company has announced the launch of 44 new nonstop routes nationwide, including a direct service from Elmira Corning Regional Airport to Sarasota Bradenton International. The flights will operate twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays, beginning February 14, 2025, and continuing until May 12, 2025.

The airline is recognized for providing convenient and affordable travel options to popular vacation spots. This latest expansion is aimed at offering more choices to travelers in the Southern Tier of New York and Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. During the winter months, passengers can now fly directly from Elmira, NY, to Sarasota, FL.

For the Winter 2024/2025 season, Allegiant has increased its flight frequency by 60% compared to its 2024 schedule. The company now offers four direct destinations from Elmira Corning Regional Airport.

Deputy County Executive Jennifer Furman commented on this development: “The increased Allegiant service this winter goes a long way toward restoring annual passenger service at ELM to pre-pandemic levels. We are continuously in discussion with Delta and other discount airlines to add new flights, and we are constantly working to ensure that ELM continues to be the dominant airport in the Southern Tier, capturing over 50% of the combined Elmira, Ithaca, and Binghamton markets. ELM is now the only local regional Airport with direct service to FOUR Florida destinations.”
