LAS
VEGAS, June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) announced
Robert P. Wilson III will retire as
the company's chief information officer effective July 1.
"Rob has played an important role in helping Allegiant become
the company it is today," said President Gregory C. Anderson. "On behalf of the entire
team and the company, I want to thank Rob for his many years of
service. His dedication and commitment over the years have been key
in our success. One of his biggest accomplishments is the terrific
team Rob has put in place - this gives me confidence we will
continue to perform at the highest level as we search for his
replacement. We wish Rob all the best in retirement."
Wilson's departure from the airline will mark the culmination of
an illustrious 30-plus year career in aviation, more than 15 of
those with Allegiant. Wilson started his career in 1992 working in
dispatch for a small regional carrier, quickly moving up the
operations and systems management ranks with several airlines
before landing at Allegiant as vice president of information
technology in 2009.
From 1995 to 2009, he worked for the cloud-based software
company CMS Solutions, where Wilson supervised a team that
designed, tested and implemented software for all areas of airline
operations, accounting and customer booking. When he joined
Allegiant in March 2009, Wilson
applied his systems and technology knowledge and experience to help
transform the IT department at a pivotal time in the airline's
growth.
"It has been an incredible journey working with such a dedicated
and talented team of leaders and staff. I feel blessed to have been
a part of Allegiant Travel's unprecedented success and growth over
the years," Wilson said. "I am proud of all that we have
accomplished. More importantly, I am confident in the team's
ability to continue to lead and support the technology needs of the
organization into the future."
Recently, Wilson has played a key role in Allegiant's
transformation from a homegrown systems environment to one that
furthers the airline's ability to be nimble and innovative in
today's competitive market. Upgrading the technology platforms to
proven best-in-class systems better aligns the company with
commercial aviation standards and supports planned growth in the
coming years.
"Rob is leaving us in good hands. He has assembled a solid team
of experts who are prepared to usher Allegiant through this
transition," Anderson said.
A search for his successor is currently underway.
