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]
