We are very proud of our safety record

At Allegiant, we are very proud of our strong safety record. Safety is at the core of our operation — every team member, every flight, every day. A recent story called into question the safety of our airline and the effectiveness of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversight. Sadly, this one-sided and irresponsible piece has caused some concerns for the traveling public. Some facts:

Since 2001, we have flown nearly

90 million passengers on more than

700,000 flights.

Our most recent FAA audit found no systemic issues, and the few minor issues found were addressed immediately by our team of professionals. Since then, the FAA’s continuous evaluations have not identified any significant issues with our current operation.

In 2015, we were unhappy with the number of reliability issues we experienced, which inconvenienced our customers. These are issues that happen with every airline.

In response, we are modernizing our fleet and have invested in technology, training and personnel to build for the future. We have a safety culture today that is ingrained in every Allegiant team member.

My family and I fly on Allegiant. Pilots, flight attendants and other team members fly on our planes every day, without hesitation. They do so because they know that every Allegiant team member values safety above all else. Nothing less is acceptable.

The most current release from the Department of Transportation shows that Allegiant is a leader in reliability, with the second-lowest rate of cancellations among all U.S. carriers. Further, per Flightstats.com, every month from October to March, Allegiant ranked first or second for the lowest rate of cancellation among major U.S. airlines.

Our work is never done when it comes to your safety. We are proud of our record and thankful for the words of support received from our family of passengers for whom we have made travel possible.
