Allegiant Air (G4, Las Vegas Harry Reid) has announced it will establish a two-aircraft base at Indianapolis International Airport with effect from February 2018.
According to a statement, the Las Vegas-based ULCC will invest more than USD40 million to establish the base which will house two Airbus aircraft.
Allegiant began operating at Indianapolis International Airport in February 2015 and now serves Austin-Bergstrom International, Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Fort Lauderdale International, Jacksonville International, FL, Las Vegas Harry Reid, Myrtle Beach International, Orlando Sanford, Phoenix Williams Gateway, Punta Gorda, FL, Savannah International, and St. Petersburg/Clearwater.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation said it offered Allegiant Air LLC up to USD1,000,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance based, meaning until locals are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.
Once operational, Indianapolis will become Allegiant’s fourteenth aircraft base after Bellingham, Cincinnati International, Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Fort Lauderdale International, Las Vegas Harry Reid, Los Angeles International, New Orleans International, Oakland International, Orlando Sanford, Phoenix Williams Gateway, Pittsburgh International, Punta Gorda, FL, and St. Petersburg/Clearwater.
