Boise, Idaho – On October 6, 2017, Allegiant Airlines will begin nonstop service between Boise and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. The new service will operate twice weekly, with departures and arrivals on Friday and Monday.

The addition of Phoenix/Mesa Gateway Airport allows access to one of our top destinations at an ultra-low cost”, said Airport Director Rebecca Hupp. “Allegiant Airlines has been a great partner at the Boise Airport since 2012, offering low fares to exciting destinations.
