Allegiant Air's secondary airport strategy is about more than low fees
Allegiant Air continues to operate from secondary airports such as Orlando Sanford and St. Pete–Clearwater, a strategy often attributed to cheaper landing fees and terminal costs. A report argues that explanation misses the core of the carrier's business model.
Allegiant Air is an ultra-low-cost carrier flying from secondary airports such as Orlando Sanford International Airport and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport. The assumption is that low landing fees, lower gate charges and cheaper terminal operating costs drive the choice.
