LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) announced that its
Board of Directors has accepted the resignation of its President
and Chief Operating Officer, Scott
Sheldon, effective April 1,
2023.
Greg Anderson will continue to
serve as President and will assume oversight of the company's
operational teams. Keny
Wilper, Allegiant's Senior Vice President of OCC and
Stations, will assume the role of interim Chief Operating
Officer.
"I am incredibly proud of the work Scott has done throughout his
tenure here at Allegiant," said John
Redmond, Allegiant's Chief Executive Officer. "His
influence, leadership, and guidance permeated all levels of the
organization, and the company would not be where it is today
without his contributions. I want to thank him for his many
years of service. I speak for all of Allegiant when I say
Scott's voice will be missed within the halls and walls of our
company and that we wish him the absolute best in all his future
endeavors."
"After careful deliberation, I believe now is the right time to
move on from Allegiant and pursue more entrepreneurial
opportunities," said Sheldon. "The company is stacked with some of
the best and brightest talent in the industry and I'm confident the
current management team will build on the strong foundations in
place and guide Allegiant to its best days. I feel
comfortable leaving at a time when the company is poised for growth
and remains under steady leadership with John and Greg at the
helm. The Allegiant future remains bright, and I look forward
to continuing to support the company's leadership team any way I
can, even as I take the next step in my career."
Mr. Wilper has been with Allegiant since 2002 and has held
numerous operational roles within the company. He helped
develop the airline's first-ever ancillary inflight program, which
has been a cornerstone of Allegiant's business model.
Throughout his career, he has held critical roles in operations and
was promoted to Vice President, Stations, in 2015 where he had
operational responsibility for Allegiant's 100+ airports, as well
as the thousands of employees and contractors serving those
airports. In 2022, his role expanded to include oversight of
Allegiant's Operational Control Center.
