Allegiant Supports Direct Relationship With Pilots

LAS VEGAS, July 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegiant (Nasdaq:ALGT) has
received notification from the National Mediation Board (NMB) that
International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Airline Division has filed an
application for a representation election on behalf of Allegiant Air pilots.
This will be the first time Allegiant pilots have voted on union
representation.

"We strongly believe that Allegiant's success is attributable in large part to
our pilots and the direct, open relationship we have with them," Maurice J.
Gallagher, Jr., Allegiant CEO and Chairman, said. "We are committed to
ensuring a fair election and we are confident Allegiant pilots will cast their
votes based on the facts, and not rush to judgment based on IBT propaganda."
