INDIANAPOLIS -- Allegiant airlines will create over 60 positions in Indianapolis as the company plans to open a two-aircraft base at Indianapolis Airport.
The company is looking for 66 people to fill new, high-wage positions including pilots, flight attendants and mechanics by the end of 2017. More than $40 million will be invested into the new base and operations are scheduled to begin in February 2018, according to company officials.
“Having a base in Indianapolis will further increase the efficiency of our operations and better position us for even more growth in the near future,” said Allegiant vice president of government affairs for Keith Hansen.
Allegiant currently offers 12 nonstop routes from the Indianapolis airport to places like Las Vegas, Phoenix, New Orleans and Myrtle Beach.
"Allegiant not only has become the airline many Hoosiers choose for their leisure destinations, but over the last several years it has also expanded Indy's connection to a number of unserved and underserved markets," said Mario Rodriguez, executive director of the Indianapolis Airport Authority.
