Las Vegas-based Allegiant, the budget carrier that focuses on connecting customers with the people, places and experiences that matter most in small-to-medium cities to bigger vacation destinations with all-nonstop flights has announced developments in Los Angeles and its April 2021 passenger figures.
The carrier saw drops of over 20% in passenger numbers in April 2021, when compared with the same month in both 2020 and 2019.
Allegiant has served LAX since 2009, has confirmed it will relocate its operations to Terminal 1 and the new, state-of-the-art West Gates at Tom Bradley and will begin service from its new LAX location on Wednesday, 19th May. Plus it will increase its capacity in Southern California by locating a fourth Airbus A320 aircraft at LAX.
"We see endless opportunity ahead to grow our operation at LAX, which continues to be our prime gateway to Southern California and the myriad attractions that keep visitors flocking to the coast," said Drew Wells, Allegiant's senior vice president of planning and revenue. "We're excited about the additional capacity and advanced infrastructure that the West Gates at Tom Bradley will bring, and look forward to offering our brand of affordable, convenient service to many more Los Angeles residents and visitors in years to come."
Justin Erbacci, chief executive officer, Los Angeles World Airports said: "As travellers return to our airports, we are excited to have Allegiant grow its operation at LAX and base a fourth aircraft here starting this summer. - We know their passengers and crew will love the state-of-the-art West Gates at
Tom Bradley International Terminal, and we look forward to our continued partnership with Allegiant."

*Total system includes scheduled service and fixed-fee contract. System revenue passenger miles and system load factor are not useful statistics as system available seat miles include both ASMs flown by fixed-fee flying as well as non-revenue producing repositioning flights used for operational needs. Fixed fee flying is better measured through dollar contribution versus operational statistics.
