Allegiant Air is betting it can help fill a Spirit Airlines-sized void in South Florida.<\/p>\n

The budget airline on Tuesday announced four new routes launching this fall from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), which was Spirit’s home base until it folded earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Allegiant’s FLL expansion includes new service to New England and the Midwest \u2014 with Boston, Kansas City and other major cities joining the mix.<\/p>\n

It’s a clear signal that Allegiant is not willing to completely cede Fort Lauderdale to JetBlue, which has moved quickly to add service from the airport<\/a><\/span> and seize the upper hand at FLL as part of a push to make it one of its three largest hubs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, FLL isn’t the only place Allegiant is growing.<\/p>\n
