Headquarters

Allegiant Air is an American ultra-low-cost carrier headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. Founded in 1997, the airline operates scheduled and charter passenger service primarily to leisure destinations throughout the United States, focusing on smaller, underserved cities and connecting them to popular vacation markets such as Las Vegas, Orlando, and Florida beach destinations.
Allegiant's business model is distinctly leisure-oriented, offering non-stop flights between secondary and tertiary cities that often lack direct service from major carriers. The airline generates ancillary revenue through hotel, rental car, and attraction packages bundled with airfare on its website.
Allegiant is publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol ALGT and is a subsidiary of Allegiant Travel Company. The carrier has grown significantly since its early days and now serves over 100 cities across the continental United States.
Hubs & network
Allegiant does not operate a traditional hub-and-spoke model but uses bases at cities including Las Vegas (LAS), Orlando Sanford (SFB), and St. Pete–Clearwater (PIE) as key focus cities.
Fleet
Allegiant Air operates an all-Airbus narrowbody fleet consisting primarily of Airbus A319 and A320 family aircraft.
