Allegiant Air, an ultra-low-cost carrier, has rapidly expanded its operations with the Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 aircraft. Since receiving its first delivery in September 2024, Allegiant now operates a fleet of 12 of these aircraft. This variant is capable of carrying up to 200 passengers but is configured by Allegiant to accommodate 190 passengers.
"Despite only taking its first delivery less than nine months ago, Allegiant is now the world's second-largest operator of the MAX 8200 behind launch customer Ryanair," states the airline's recent announcement. The company plans further expansion with future additions to their fleet, including the Boeing 737 MAX 7 once it receives certification.
In June, several routes will see increased use of the MAX 8-200s. The St. Pete–Clearwater to Chattanooga route will feature 17 flights, offering a total of 3,230 seats over a distance of 513 miles. Similarly, St. Pete–Clearwater to Concord-Padgett Regional Airport will also have 17 flights in June.
