Allegiant Teams with Navitaire to Transform Digital Platforms

Allegiant, the budget airline from Las Vegas has chosen the cloud-enabled Navitaire Airline Platform to power its evolving digital strategies. The ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) plans to migrate to Navitaire’s fully cloud-based platform in early 2023. The transition will include the New Skies® order-based reservation and retailing system, GoNow day-of-departure and Ancillary Pricing Optimization. Navitaire, an Amadeus company, provides technology and business solutions to the airline industry, powering over 60 of the world’s leading low-cost and hybrid carriers today.

Allegiant Air is an integrated travel company with an airline at its heart that focuses on linking travellers in small-to-medium cities to world-class leisure destinations. The carrier has grown rapidly, and now serves over 600 routes offering low base fares and convenient non-stop service. Allegiant plans to further expand its network over the next three years as it takes delivery of 50 new aircraft.

Navitaire has a long tradition of ancillary sales leadership, powering the digital retailing success of many of the world’s LCCs and digital pioneers. Allegiant plans to leverage Navitaire’s proven digital platform to help it build on this great success and take the next step in its digital journey.

“Allegiant is harnessing Navitaire’s power as an industry-leading digital tech provider to let us continue to be nimble and innovative in today’s dynamic environment,” said Rob Wilson, Allegiant CIO. “With the options available to us through this partnership, Allegiant will further establish itself as a leader in the leisure travel industry.”

“Navitaire is honoured to join forces with Allegiant Air to help it remain at the forefront of the aviation industry, with ever-stronger digital capabilities,” said David P. Evans, Navitaire CEO. “Our solutions have underpinned the success of many of the industry’s digital pioneers by providing a highly scalable cloud-hosted platform that is open, digital, connected and powered by data. These elements offer virtually unlimited possibilities and are vital to fueling the strategies of high-growth airlines like Allegiant.”
