Starting Thursday the seasonal hiatus will come to an end, running every Thursday and Sunday through August.

“We are very glad to see the Allegiant flight resume service just in time to give our travelers a quick, warm, and affordable break in the Florida sunshine,” said Gil Turner, Dayton International Airport Interim Director.

Allegiant’s business model relies on seasonal flights to cater to leisure travelers and fly when the demand is high.
