(Bill) Robinson III, Kenton County Airport Board Chairman. “Allegiant started service from CVG in February 2014 with four weekly flights. With the new service starting today, Allegiant will offer over 30 weekly flights to 10 destinations.”

“The addition of nonstop flights to Austin will, for the first time, offer Greater Cincinnati travelers lowcost service to the heart of Texas,” said Jude Bricker, Allegiant Travel Company senior vice president of planning. “With flights to ten of the area’s favorite destinations, we are pleased to continue growing to become the region’s go-to company for vacation travel.”

“We are proud Allegiant is expanding service to include Austin,” said Candace McGraw, chief executive officer, Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport. “Austin becomes the 56th nonstop destination from CVG. This expansion would not be possible without the immense support from the Tri- State region.”
