The Allegiant Travel Company is an American airline holding and hospitality company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company owns the airline Allegiant Air and Sunseeker Resorts.

History

[edit]

The Allegiant Travel Company was founded in 1999[2] as the parent company of Allegiant Air,[3] which itself had been founded in 1997.[4] Initially based out of Fresno, California, the company reorganized in 2000 with Maurice J. Gallagher Jr. gaining an almost 20 percent stake in the company. He had previously been a prominent creditor of Allegiant and was one of the co-founders of ValuJet Airlines.[5]

In May 2006, Allegiant Travel Company filed plans for an initial public offering (IPO).[6] It officially began trading on the Nasdaq exchange under the stock ticker symbol, ALGT, in December of that year.[7]

By 2019, Allegiant Travel's primary subsidiary, Allegiant Air, had switched from a fleet predominately composed of MD-80s to one exclusively composed of Airbus jets.[8]
