Allegiant got its start with a fleet of used MD-80’s from Alaska Airlines. We have an even bigger fleet of used but well maintained A-320’s that we are desperate to get rid of and 10 fairly new ETOPS A321NEO’s for sale as well...Could be Allegiant’s next big growth spurt...

I know its hard to fathom but they can expand into new markets that the so called buyup airline was flying to. :rolleyes: For an airline who is quickly getting up to 1 billion in the bank, I don’t think they are doing to badly!
Buying a competitor eliminates a competitor, and Maury hates competition. Buying a large airline brings large planes and international ops. Seems to make more sense than more flights to North Dakota. |

Okay, but where will we fly these new jets? DSM-TRI? TYS-FAR? ABE-GRI? And we're going to fill planes on those routes? Have another drink of Maury's spiked koolaid pal.

Is it time for a merger rumor already? Dang I’ll have to update my calendar.

Expand where? Are there any more podunk places in flyover states where people are looking for a cheap fare to Florida/Vegas/Arizona? I mean I guess they could throw a few more darts at the square states and find an airport near them. Where would we park the new planes? Florida and IWA are full. They could put maybe 1 more jet in some of the small bases. I'm not seeing a big expansion. They bunged up the Mexico thing, now that market has been flooded buy the other LCCs and G4 doesn't like to compete. I think we have hit the cap of organic growth. If they don't come up with a new plan or a M&A, we are going to see our business keep getting eroded at the edges by our competitors. Let's not forget that since international will be dead for a few years, our competitors include the legacies on domestic routes.
Isn’t Allegiant’s whole business model based around flying cheaply acquired planes to small underserved markets? Why would they just throw their whole business plan, which has been working pretty well for them, in the trash? Also where would they get the money for a buyout, most of those airlines you listed have more cash on hand than Allegiant. |

Maury always does what is in the best interest of the shareholders because he is the largest shareholder... |
Apparently Frontier is going to all or mostly day trips. Merger confirmed?
