Allegiant Reports October 2017 Traffic

2017-11-07 14:42 ET - News Release

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today reported preliminary passenger traffic results for October 2017. 

"During our earnings call on October 25, 2017, we called out 3 to 3.5 percentage points of a TRASM headwind due to the impacts of Hurricane Irma in Florida and the mass shooting in Las Vegas," stated Lukas Johnson, senior vice president, commercial.  "At the time of the call, Florida had recovered but Las Vegas was still pacing below its previous trends.  But each week since, we have seen meaningful recovery in the Las Vegas market, and now believe demand has normalized to the levels seen before the tragic event of October 1."
