He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) deal, Allegiant selected two models – the 737-7 and 737-8-200 – in the 737 MAX family, which provide the lowest seat-mile costs for a single-aisle airplane and high-dispatch reliability.
- “While the heart of our strategy continues to center on previously-owned aircraft, the infusion of up to 100 direct-from-the-manufacturer 737s will bring numerous benefits for the future – including flexibility for capacity growth and aircraft retirements, significant environmental benefits, and modern configuration and cabin features our customers will appreciate.
- Allegiant currently operates a fleet of 108 Airbus A319 and A320 airplanes and new order gives Chicago-based Boeing a major foothold in the discount airline's all-Airbus fleet.
