Allegiant and Spirit inaugural flights take off to Tucson, Fort Myers and Tampa

INDIANAPOLIS, IN, 2019-Nov-15 — /Travel PR News/ — Not one, not two – but three inaugural flights will take off out of the Indianapolis International Airport (IND) today (Nov. 14, 2019), with flights to a new nonstop destination and additional flights heading out to the Sunshine State.

At 1:23 p.m. today, Allegiant Air will launch the first nonstop flight from Indianapolis to Tucson, closing the travel gap to this western hotspot of the United States. And Spirit Airlines will take off at 7 a.m. to Fort Myers, and at 8:59 p.m. Spirit travelers will head to Tampa to soak up the warm, Florida sunshine.

“More flights, more destinations, more low-cost options – it all adds up to tremendous value for the more than 9 million people who fly out of the Indianapolis International Airport each year,” said Indianapolis Airport Authority Executive Director Mario Rodriguez. “Our airline partners like Allegiant and Spirit are investing in Indy, adding new nonstop destinations and giving travelers more options to existing travel markets.”
