BILLINGS, Mont. - The City of Billings, Billings Logan International Airport (BIL), in partnership with Visit Billings, the Billings Chamber of Commerce, and Big Sky Economic Development have announced the extension of direct service to Las Vegas (LAS) and Phoenix-Mesa (IWA) through the Fall 2024 season.
According to release from Big Sky Economic Development, the air service extension from Allegiant Airlines will strategically increase the city's capacity for two favored destinations for tourism, business, and leisure travelers in Billings.
Flight extensions will include four weekly flights from Billings to Phoenix-Mesa from August 14th through November 6th, followed by three weekly flights the week of November 6th.
Travelers to Las Vegas will have two opportunities for direct service via Allegiant through September. In October of this year, Allegiant will increase service to four times per week, ending mid-November.
This news follows after Allegiant announced they would offer direct, seasonal service to Los Angeles (LAX) beginning this spring.
Additionally, Billings Logan has announced that Alaska Airlines will extend their direct service to Portland (PDX) through the end of 2024. Previously the service was only to be offered through a portion of the year.
Jeff Roach, Director of Aviation and Transit at Billings Logan International Airport, said, “At BIL we celebrate the expanded air service announced by our existing airline partner. This addition demonstrates confidence in the travel demand spurred by airport infrastructure investment, as well as, continuing economic development and increasing tourism activity in Billings and the surrounding region.”
Tickets for these new flight services are now available for purchase through the respective websites and mobile apps for both Allegiant Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
