officer and director of ValuJet from its
inception in 1993 until 1997. From 1983
until 1992, Gallagher was a principal
owner and executive of WestAir, a commuter airline.
Allegiant, Gallagher's current company,
was founded in 1997 in Fresno, Calif. In
1999, the company began scheduled passenger service between Fresno and Las Vegas
utilizing a DC-9 aircraft.
In December 2000, Allegiant filed for
bankruptcy and as the major creditor of
the airline, Gallagher gained control of
the business during reorganization. In
June 2001, Gallagher restructured the airline to a low-cost model and moved the
headquarters and operations to Las Vegas,
where they remain today.
The ISTAT Award is the most distinguished
honor in the aviation industry and was
created in 2001 by the association to
recognize individuals who have made
lasting contributions to the industry over a
significant period of time.
In March 2002, Allegiant successfully
exited bankruptcy and entered into a longterm contract with Harrah's to provide
charter services to its casinos in Laughlin,
Nev., and Reno, Nev. At the same time, the
airline acquired its first MD-80 aircraft.
From 2002 through 2004, the scheduled
service business model was developed and,
by 2004, Allegiant was flying from 13 small
cities to Las Vegas offering bundled air and
hotel packages.
Allegiant became a public company
in December 2006, under the Allegiant
Travel Company name and trades on the
NASDAQ under ticker ALGT. In March 2010,
the company announced it signed a forward purchase agreement to acquire six
Boeing 757-200 aircraft that enabled
14 The official publication of the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading
Allegiant to expand its leisure travel strategy into Hawaii with flights beginning in
summer 2012.
The company unveiled a brand refresh
in October 2010 that included a refreshed
logo with a more prominent sun design
and softer lines, along with a new tag
line, "Travel is our deal." In August 2012,
Allegiant entered a lease agreement to
lease nine Airbus A319 aircraft, and in
December 2012, announced its intention
to acquire nine Airbus A320 aircraft.
Allegiant's unique strategy, under
Gallagher's guidance, has allowed the
company to remain profitable every quarter since 2003 despite industry challenges
that include fluctuating fuel costs and an
unstable economy.
