Allegiant adds new route from Sarasota to Rochester

On the heels of multiple new routes announced in late July, Allegiant Travel Co. has added five new nonstop routes beginning in early 2026, two of them from central Gulf Coast airports.

The new route between Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and Rochester, New York, via Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport will begin Feb. 13, 2026. On March 5, 2026, Allegiant will begin nonstop service between St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport and Huntsville, Alabama, via Huntsville International Airport.

"We're happy to see Allegiant continue to expand its service at SRQ,” said Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport President and CEO Rick Piccolo in a news release. “Adding a new route to Rochester not only strengthens our ties to the Northeast, but also continues to provide our passengers convenient, nonstop travel options.”

Added Allegiant Chief Commercial Officer Drew Wells, “We are excited to continue our growth trajectory with our new route from Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida, to Rochester, New York. As a leisure-focused airline, our unique business model allows us to quickly respond to consumer demand and connect underserved markets to top vacation destinations.”
