Just in time for the holiday season, Las Vegas-based ultra-low-cost carrier Allegiant Air made a splash Friday as the vacation-focused airline launched year-round nonstop service from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), the first of two Florida destinations the carrier plans to begin serving from Dulles International this fall. Next month, Allegiant will round out its 2021 Dulles debut by launching nonstop service to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), located along the Sunshine State’s Gulf Coast, just before Christmas. Both routes will be served with Airbus A320-family aircraft.

“With the holidays just around the corner, I can’t think of a better time to welcome Allegiant Air to the Dulles International Airport family, as they kick off their new nonstop service to Jacksonville with convenient and affordable options for vacation-minded customers,” said Carl Schultz, acting vice president of airline business development for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.

With its entrance into the Washington, D.C., market, Allegiant Air will soon serve as the sole ultra-low-cost carrier option from Dulles International Airport, offering a comprehensive travel experience including nonstop flights to world-class destinations. Flights from Dulles International to Jacksonville will operate on Mondays and Fridays, while service to Sarasota, which begins December 18, will operate on Thursdays and Sundays.
