Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026
- As of October 30, 2026, we are party to forward purchase agreements for 34 aircraft with deliveries expected between November 2026 and 2028.
- The engines from these aircraft will be retained for future overhaul cost mitigation and may be sold on an opportunistic basis if we determine the engine has no better economic use in our operating fleet.
- Integration of Sun Country’s business with our existing business is underway and is expected to be a complex, costly, and time-consuming process.
- We believe the combination will enhance our network breadth, operational flexibility, and ability to respond to demand shifts, while supporting the passenger and charter operations of both airlines.
- We have applied with the FAA for a single operating certificate ("SOC") which we currently expect will be obtained in 2028.
- Our ability to combine operations will be limited until we receive a single operating certificate and there are joint collective bargaining agreements in place with the various unionized work groups.
- Once the SOC is granted by the FAA and the combined PSS is implemented (which is currently expected in 2028), we believe we will be able to begin to capture more of the revenue and cost synergies sought from the transaction.
- We have not used financial derivative products to hedge against fuel price volatility, nor do we have any plans to do so in the future.
- We expect to continue to manage our peak period utilization as the demand environment allows.
- We have also announced Allegiant First, a new premium seating tier scheduled to debut on future MAX deliveries, with service expected to begin in spring 2027.
- We believe this new aircraft purchase is complementary with our low-cost strategy based on our intent to retain ownership of the aircraft, the longer useful life for depreciation purposes, and expected fuel savings and operational reliability from the use of these new aircraft.
- We currently expect four aircraft to be delivered to us in the last three months of 2026 with the remaining aircraft under contract to be delivered in 2027 and 2028.
