Allegiant Air Adds Jets to Fleet

allegiant.jpgFinally! Some good airline news to pass on...

Allegiant Air is purchasing six more jets, bringing its total fleet up to 36.  Maurice Gallagher,  Allegiant CEO and Chair, says “Our strong balance sheet and industry-leading profit margins enable us to grow and pursue many opportunities which we believe can enhance the overall profitability of our business. Our strong financial condition permits us to purchase aircraft for cash.”

And just to head some of you off at the pass, let me say right now that I don't know if this means more Allegiant service for Springfield-Branson. : )

I know were not supposed to assume, but i am excited to assume that they are not going anywhere like skybus, and the other defunct airlines. With the new terminal could you ever forsee us being a focus city for allegiant with people wanting to come to the lakes, branson, and other sites in the area.
