“I am very pleased to add to my role at Allegiant,” said Mr. Levy. “I have great expectations for what we can accomplish and look forward to working with our incredible team of employees to continue to build our truly unique company. “

Mr. Levy has served as an officer of Allegiant since June 2001 and was elected to the post of Chief Financial Officer in August 2007.
