Talk about great timing. Just one day after budget carrier Spirit Airlines declared bankruptcy, fellow low-cost carrier Allegiant Airlines announced it tied a company record for the largest schedule expansion in history.

There will be 44 new nonstop routes, including 11 routes to three new cities: Gulf Shores, Alabama; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Columbia, South Carolina. To celebrate this significant expansion, the company is offering one-way fares on the new routes as low as $39, although there are some restrictions.

The new flights will start in February.

"We're excited to announce that Allegiant is expanding nationwide, offering even more travel options to our customers," said Drew Wells, Allegiant's chief commercial officer. "These additions reflect our ongoing commitment to meet customer demand. By connecting more cities, we're making it easier for travelers to visit family and friends, access top leisure destinations, and create new memories. Our research shows that customers increasingly want affordability and convenience when they fly. Our low-cost fares and nonstop flights make Allegiant a top choice for leisure travelers."

Allegiant said a core aspect of its business model is to provide service during periods with strong leisure demand, such as holidays, summer, weekends and school breaks. Flight days, times and fares can be found only at Allegiant.com.

The new routes are in addition to the eight announced over the summer.
