Beginning next spring, Allegiant will offer twice weekly non-stop flights to Nashville International Airport from Shreveport Regional Airport. Flights begin on Thursday, May 22, 2025, and will operate on Thursdays and Sundays. The seasonal flights will be available through August 17, 2025. This is the first time in the airport’s 72-year history that non-stop service between Shreveport and Nashville has been offered.
“We are very excited that Allegiant decided to add direct flights to Nashville, Tennessee; one of our most requested cities. We are always working to add new destinations from Shreveport. We are continuing to make improvements to the airport by adding new restaurant and retail options, modern terminal seating, and additional vehicle parking. The airport team works hard to provide Ark-La-Tex residents more reasons to fly Shreveport first,” said Larry Blackwell, Director of Airports for the Shreveport Airport Authority.
The new non-stop flight is made possible by funding from the Ark-La-Tex Regional Air Service Alliance (RASA), whose mission is to increase air service at Shreveport Regional Airport. RASA has previously assisted with securing non-stop service to Denver, Charlotte, Destin, and Los Angeles.
“RASA is excited to work with Allegiant to make this new non-stop flight happen. Our goal of adding new routes from Shreveport Regional Airport is not only to benefit our region, but also to open the door to the people of Tennessee to come experience all that the Ark-La-Tex has to offer. RASA will continue to explore all options to bring new routes and add to existing service at every opportunity,” said Tim Wilhite, president of the RASA board of directors.
Tickets for the new non-stop Nashville flight are on sale now at Allegiant.com. Fares start at $44.50 one way. Tickets are also on sale now for non-stop flights next summer to Destin and Orlando, Florida at Allegiant.com.
