Allegiant Airlines
Allegiant Air is a distinctive American ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, that has carved out a unique niche in the aviation industry by focusing almost exclusively on leisure travelers.Unlike traditional airlines that often operate a hub-and-spoke model, Allegiant employs a point-to-point strategy, connecting smaller, underserved cities directly to popular warm-weather vacation destinations like Orlando (Sanford and Melbourne), Las Vegas, Phoenix (Mesa), and various cities in Florida. This approach often involves flying into secondary airports, which typically have lower operating costs and less congestion, contributing to Allegiant’s ability to offer highly competitive, “unbundled” fares. Passengers pay a low base fare, with additional fees for services such as checked bags, seat selection, and even carry-on bags, allowing travelers to customize their experience and only pay for what they use. Allegiant’s business model also emphasizes operational efficiency, including purchasing used aircraft at lower costs and optimizing crew schedules to minimize overnight stays away from home bases, further contributing to its profitability and ability to maintain low prices.
