Talk:Allegiant Air

Operating bases
People keep adding and removing cities from the "Operating bases" list, without giving any sources, and seemingly mostly based on the individual editor's opinion. Please do not include any such list without giving citations direct from Allegiant or the airports in question.Mirza Ahmed (talk) 16:25, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Synth, NPOV corrections
Removed the following from the page:

On August 17, 2016, Allegiant Flight 436 aborted its take-off from McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada due to an uncommanded early rotation at about 120 kn indicated airspeed. An investigation by the FAA found that maintenance procedures had not been followed by Allegiant's maintenance provider, AAR Air Services Inc. This resulted in a nut becoming detached from an elevator boost cylinder. The aircraft had made 216 flights in an unairworthy condition. The FAA investigation revealed two similar occurrences. The FAA intends to prosecute over each offense.

Aviation Herald does not appear to be a reliable source. Looks like it is pretty much churnalism for incidents that happen in the aviation industry. It also does not say "the FAA intends to prosecute." This is pure WP:SYNTH and does not meet WP:NPOV. I realize people may have had bad experiences with them, but Wikipedia is not the place to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. If we want to list all incidents for airlines, we need sepearate pages for each as the lists would be plenty. I feel the 60 Minutes piece is pretty noteworthy and is covered accordingly, but unless these individual incidents are WP:LASTING, there is no reason to list them all. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:37, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Article Tone
"Allegiant Air is known in the aviation industry to only acquire second-hand, used aircraft in order to save cash instead of ordering brand-new aircraft." This is a particularly slimy statement. Either Allegiant has a policy of buying used aircraft, or they don't. And a reference would be nice. If we have to include an industry rumor, then say so. "Known in the industry" is no guarantee of truth. And motives, while 'obvious', may not be as guessed. The economics of running an airline are rarely obvious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.41.92.65 (talk) 08:33, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Recent incident with Allegiant passenger
This was reverted as being unrelated to Allegiant. But, putting here for discussion per WP:ONUS in case others feel it meets inclusion criteria. CNMall41 (talk) 20:37, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

All planes return to base same day
Is it the case that all Allegiant planes fly out to a destination, then immediately back? If so, then surely that in itself reduces costs. All personnel go home for the night. No paying to accommodate them in hotels. And so forth.50.43.163.127 (talk) 23:49, 13 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Already mentioned in the article:
 * Allegiant schedules their crew members so that they typically return to their home base at the end of the day, avoiding the expense of hotel rooms.
