LAS VEGAS, May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegiant Travel
Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) is setting the stage for its next phase of
growth at Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX). The Las
Vegas-based airline, which has served LAX since 2009, will
relocate its operations to Terminal 1 and the new, state-of-the-art
West Gates at Tom Bradley. Allegiant will begin service from its
new LAX location on Wednesday, May
19.
The move affords the leisure travel-focused carrier opportunity
to offer even more of the affordable, nonstop flights which are its
hallmark. Anticipating the busy summer travel season, Allegiant
will increase its capacity in Southern
California by locating a fourth Airbus A320 aircraft at LAX.
Los Angeles has been a full-time
base for Allegiant aircraft and crew since 2016.
"We see endless opportunity ahead to grow our operation at LAX,
which continues to be our prime gateway to Southern California and the myriad attractions
that keep visitors flocking to the coast," said Drew Wells, Allegiant's senior vice president of
planning and revenue. "We're excited about the additional capacity
and advanced infrastructure that the West Gates at Tom Bradley will
bring, and look forward to offering our brand of affordable,
convenient service to many more Los
Angeles residents and visitors in years to come."

airlines, focused on bringing leisure travelers from
small-to-medium sized cities to premier vacation destinations with
convenient local access and affordable fares. Allegiant customers
reach the people and places that matter most without the extra time

"As travelers return to our airports, we are excited to have
Allegiant grow its operation at LAX and base a fourth aircraft here
starting this summer," said Justin
Erbacci, chief executive officer, Los Angeles World
Airports. "We know their passengers and crew will love the
state-of-the-art West Gates at Tom Bradley International Terminal,
and we look forward to our continued partnership with
Allegiant."
