In the first agreement between Boeing with ULCC airline, Allegiant selected two models, the 737-7 and the 737-8-200, of the family 737 MAX, providing the lowest seat-mile costs for a single-aisle aircraft and high dispatch reliability.
It should be noted that Allegiant will not be the first time that it will have airplanes Boeing in its fleet having operated airplanes Boeing 757 and versions of the McDonnel MD-80, but it will imply a big change in the future in its fleet structure currently dominated by 117 planes Airbus from the A320 family.
"While the heart of our strategy continues to focus on previously owned aircraft, infusion of up 100 planes 737 directly from the manufacturer will bring numerous benefits for the future, including flexibility for capacity growth and aircraft retirement, important environmental benefits and the modern configuration and cabin features that our customers will appreciate" said Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., President and CEO of Allegiant.
With common elements and improved fuel efficiency, the family Boeing 737 MAX allows airlines to optimize their fleets for a wide range of missions. The 737-7 offers low operating costs that allow carriers to open new routes with less economic risk, and the 737-8-200 Larger offers additional revenue potential and is appropriately sized for ULCC market expansion. Compared to Allegiant's current fleet, the new models 737 will reduce the use of combustible and the emissions of carbon in a 20%.

The KLM and Qantas order for Airbus recently came out, leaving Boeing without two of its most regular customers.… Boeing's response? offer a discount to a low-cost company like Allegiant to continue the media war to see who sells more between the two large production companies.
I mean, nothing new under the Sun in these times of few models and a pandemic that endangers the entire Industry.
In the end, competition is good no?
Boeing, always, without a doubt, has been, It is and will be much, much better and superior than Airbus., in all aspects, both technical and commercial. End of story.
The truth is that this request seems a bit strange to me., The airline already had many Airbus aircraft and no matter how efficient they may be, the cost of maintenance of the two types of aircraft will greatly increase the cost., Even so, I think he chose the right planes but in the long term because for now I think they would start making losses as soon as they arrive and from there they will improve.. Good post
What can be deduced is that they will completely change their fleet in the long term for all Boeing.
It is the most logical thing but I think that until they achieve it it will be a little more complicated especially because of the maintenance and the personnel like the pilots and others..
