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

History

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]

Plans for the inaugural Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte County, Florida (known as Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor) were announced in August 2017.[16] Construction on the project was initially halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but resumed in 2021 with plans for the 500 room, 180 extended-stay suite resort.[17] The resort opened on December 15, 2023.[18]

The company was founded in 2013 and has been owned by Allegiant since its outset.[19] The firm's software was being used by 590 golf courses as of November 2023, but was also looking for a buyer for the subsidiary as of the same date.[20] Another Allegiant subsidiary, Game Plane, created an eponymous game show that was filmed on Allegiant Air flights, which ran during 2014 and 2015 on the Discovery Family Channel.[19][21] Allegiant Travel also operated an information technology company called Allegiant Systems that had the goal of selling software systems to other airlines.[22]

Allegiant Travel formerly operated family entertainment centers in Utah and Michigan.[19][23] Known as Allegiant Nonstop, the company closed the centers in 2020.[24]
