“Our excellent fourth quarter operating results added to our already strong performance through September 2006,” said Maurice J. Gallagher, Chairman, CEO and President of Allegiant Travel Company. “Through our continued focus on ‘being different’ our team members have produced results of which we all can be proud. Customer response to our leisure service offerings continues to be encouraging, including to our new ‘world-class leisure destination’ of Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg.”

Gallagher continued, “We are very pleased with our 11.7% operating margin in the fourth quarter. Our December initial public offering substantially improved our balance sheet, making it one of the best in the industry. In particular, 2006 year-end cash and short-term investments were a substantial $136 million. We believe we have built a strong base from which to face the future.”

Linda Marvin, Allegiant CFO, commented, “Net income in our fourth quarter and full year 2006 was impacted by a one-time $6.4 million charge to recognize deferred tax liabilities due to the tax reorganization carried out in conjunction with our initial public offering. Further clarification of this point can be found on page 38 of our final prospectus dated December 7, 2006.”

•

We completed an initial public offering of 5.75 million shares (including fully-exercised over-allotment option), resulting in net proceeds (after expenses) to the Company of approximately $94.5 million.

•

Our subsidiary Allegiant Air established service to its third “world-class leisure destination” of Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg in November.

•

Allegiant Air initiated service to seven new small cities and on 18 new routes.

•

Allegiant Air took delivery of two additional MD-80 aircraft on short-term leases. These aircraft were placed into service early this month.

The current status of Allegiant Air’s fuel hedging program is summarized below:

• includes approximately $0.24 per gallon in expenses above the raw cost of jet fuel

We may yet enter into further fuel hedge transactions for March 2007 fuel consumption.

The following tables summarize year-over-year and recent changes in Allegiant Air’s scheduled network and fleet:


Network Summary*	January 31, 2007		Year End 2006		Year End 2005
“World-class leisure destinations”		3		3		2
Small cities served		46		47		29

Total cities served		49		50		31
Routes to Las Vegas		34		34		25
Routes to Orlando		20		21		13
Routes to Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg		11		12		0
Other routes		1		0		0

Total routes		66		67		38

• includes purchases expected to close by January 31, 2007 of two previously-leased aircraft

Announced future service includes eight new routes and two new small cities to be initiated by the end of the first quarter of 2007. We expect to make further new city and route announcements in the near future.

At this time, Allegiant Travel Company provides the following guidance to investors:

•

Allegiant Air expects first quarter 2007 ASM growth of 25-27% and departure growth of 42-44% over first quarter 2006.

•

Reviewing First Call earnings per share estimates, we are comfortable with the current range of $0.35–0.38 for first quarter 2007 and with the range of $1.20–1.30 for the full year, assuming our internal initial expectation for 2007 average scheduled service all-in jet fuel cost/gallon of $2.23. However, through the first 29 days of January, the average price the Company paid for jet fuel was approximately $2.00/gallon.

•

We are also comfortable with the range of analyst revenue estimates for the first quarter 2007 of $79.1–83.9 million.

•

By the end of the year, Allegiant Air expects to operate at least 29 MD-80 aircraft. Our opinion is the availability of high-quality MD-80 aircraft will not constrain Allegiant Air growth in the foreseeable future.

Allegiant Travel Company will host a conference call with analysts at 10 am EST tomorrow, January 31, 2007, to discuss our fourth quarter and full year financial results. A live broadcast of the conference call will be available via the Company’s Investor Relations website homepage at http://ir.allegiantair.com. The webcast will also be archived in the “Events & Presentations” section of the website.

Note: the Company believes the non-GAAP measures above assist investors in understanding the underlying economic performance of the Company as follows:

•

The Company believes that adjusted net income net of one-time tax accrual assists investors in understanding the Company’s underlying performance without regard to transitory effects of changing from an LLC to a C-corporation.

•

The Company believes that operating expenses per available seat mile, excluding the cost of fuel, assists investors in understanding the impact of fuel expense on the Company’s operations and the Company’s performance with respect to expenses other than fuel.

•

The Company does not qualify for fuel hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133. Management regards the adjusted net income measure shown above as representative of the net income the Company would have shown if it did qualify for fuel hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133. Likewise, management regards operating cost per ASM including cash gain or loss on fuel derivatives as representative of the total operating expense per ASM the Company would have shown if it did qualify for fuel hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133.
