Allegiant Air Cuts 9 Routes & Will Close Los Angeles Crew Base

US-based ultra-low-cost carrier Allegiant Airmade two major announcements yesterday, both of which demonstrate a greater directional shift being made by the carrier. Effective September 2nd, 2025, Allegiant Air will be closing its operating base at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), where the carrier has historically maintained a crew base and operated many daily flights. This move comes as the airline has doubled down on operating bases in other states across the country, most notably in the Midwest.
