RAPID CITY, S.D. – Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) is proud to celebrate 20 years of partnership with Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP), marking two decades of providing affordable, nonstop travel to residents in Rapid City, South Dakota and the surrounding region.
Since starting service in 2005, Allegiant has flown more than 1.3 million passengers in and out of RAP. The airline’s business strategy, offering a network of all-nonstop flights from small-to-medium sized markets to world-class leisure destinations, has been a key differentiator that separates them from other carriers.
“We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone with Rapid City Regional Airport,” said Kristen Schilling Gonzales, Allegiant’s VP Planning & Revenue. “Our partnership with RAP has allowed us to provide affordable, nonstop options to countless passengers. This moment marks another milestone in what has been an incredible journey and we look forward to many more years of success.”
As a leisure-focused airline, Allegiant builds their schedule around vacation seasons, making air travel convenient and affordable. A hallmark for the airline is that all of their flights are nonstop. When flying with Allegiant, passengers spend less time at the airport and more time enjoying their vacations.
“Allegiant’s arrival 20 years ago brought a new kind of travel opportunity to our community,” said Patrick Dame, Executive Director of Rapid City Regional Airport. “Their low-cost, nonstop flights have made travel easier for families, visitors, and businesses. We’re proud of the partnership and the growth it’s brought to the Black Hills over the years.”
To mark the occasion, Rapid City Regional Airport hosted a celebration with a ceremonial water salute from Rapid City Fire Department Station 8, along with cake and cookies for passengers.
