areas
LAS

leader in sustainability as we develop and adhere to ESG best
practices throughout our business," said John Redmond, Allegiant's CEO. "To keep us
accountable and in the interest of transparency, we committed to
reporting annually on our ESG progress. I'm proud to present our
first report in which we begin the process of disclosing data and
