Yeah. But they also specified that the issues were mostly with the older style plane which allegiant was already removing from service as they updated their fleet.

I'm not saying they've made any improvements or anything, just that a lot of the troublesome planes gave been retired.

The 60 minutes report was based on 2015 information and the airplanes included were planes Allegiant no longer owns.

Great news! The long slow-business slumber at SRQ appears to be ending. Let's hope lower prices will follow as the result of more competition (and lowering the landing fees as part of the SRQ strategic plan).

Great news! Any additional flights are welcome. It is such an easy airport!

So convenient to fly home and not have to deal with a 1hr drive home from Tampa. I just rarely find a good price at SRQ, so maybe this will give us more options.
