On January 4, 2010, the SAS Group announced the sales of 18 surplus MD-80 series aircraft to Allegiant Travel Company. The aircraft were built from 1985 to 1991. Allegiant's smaller MD-87's are currently used almost exclusively for charters, meaning that all scheduled MD-80 flights have at least 150 seats.

On March 5, 2010, Allegiant announced the purchase of six Boeing 757-200 aircraft from Thomson Airways for flights to Hawaii with the delivery of the first two in the following months. In September 2011, Allegiant Air introduced the 757 into service from their main hub in Las Vegas. Allegiant later announced that the 757's will be used for service to Hawaii. Fresno and Las Vegas were the inaugural destinations to Hawaii and in mid-November 2012, service will start from Bellingham, Eugene, Monterey, Santa Maria, and Stockton.

On July 30th, 2012, Allegiant announced the future addition of the Airbus A319-100 aircraft to its fleet. The aircraft are used and formerly belonged to easyJet and Cebu Pacific. 9 aircraft will enter service in 2013, 5 in 2014, 5 in 2015. The additional aircraft will be used for more expansion, higher frequency, as well as the retirement of 2 MD-87's.

Famous quotes containing the word fleet:

    They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
    Which I gaze on so fondly today,
    Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
    Like fairy-gifts fading away.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    On the middle of that quiet floor
    sits a fleet of small black ships,
    square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
    their spars like burned matchsticks.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
