Allegiant Airlines, a budget carrier, is beginning service from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to Gulf Shores, Alabama, and Portland, Oregon.

The two new routes started today:

  • Gulf Shores, Alabama, via Gulf Shores International Airport, with one-way fares starting at $43
  • Portland, Oregon, via Portland International Airport, with one-way fares starting at $53.

“We are grateful to Allegiant Airlines for adding these two fantastic destinations,” CVG CEO Larry Krauter said in a news release. “Portland has been among our top markets without nonstop service and the Gulf Shores service provides another great sun destination for our community.”

The new flights will operate up to twice weekly.
