Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 30, 2009, Allegiant Travel Company (the "Company") entered into an agreement with Scandinavian Airlines System ("SAS") for the purchase of 18 MD-80 series aircraft for delivery in the first three quarters of 2010. The aircraft include 13 MD-82/83 aircraft which the Company expects to place in airline service by the end of 2011. The remaining five aircraft are MD-87 aircraft which the Company expects to use as a source of spare engines and spare parts. The Company expects that the all-in cost of placing each such aircraft into service, including an allocable portion of the acquisition price and required maintenance, paint, seats, equipment upgrades and other necessary modifications will be less than $4 million per aircraft.
Any forward-looking statements are based on information available to the Company today and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.
