Allegiant Travel Company (Allegiant) has finalised its acquisition of Sun Country Airlines Holdings, creating a larger leisure-focused airline group in the United States. The deal closed following shareholder approval and the receipt of all required regulatory clearances.
The combination brings together two low-cost carriers with complementary business models, expanding the group’s network to nearly 175 destinations with a combined fleet of 195 aircraft. Allegiant said the acquisition will strengthen its market position, broaden customer travel options and support long-term growth.
Both airlines will continue operating under their existing brands in the near term, with no immediate changes to reservations, schedules or loyalty programmes. Customers will continue to use the same booking channels and customer service platforms while integration progresses.
The company stated that the integration process will focus on maintaining safe and reliable operations, with frontline staff remaining in their current roles. While some corporate functions may overlap over time, any organisational changes will be assessed carefully in consultation with employee representatives.
