Six Boeing 737-8 Options Exercised
Supplemental agreements signed October 19, 2026 cover the first six options under the 2021 Boeing purchase agreement; the aircraft are 737-8s scheduled for 2028 delivery.
-
Order Book Now 56 Firm Aircraft
With the options exercised, Allegiant has 56 firm aircraft under the purchase agreement, 22 of which have been delivered through October 23, 2026, and 74 remaining options.
-
List Price Above $720 Million
The six aircraft carry a list price totaling more than $720 million, subject to discounts and price escalations through the delivery dates, so the actual purchase price is not yet fixed.
-
Executive Contracts Extended to 2029
Employment agreements dated October 22, 2026 keep CEO Gregory Anderson ($750,000 base, 180% target bonus, 300% target equity), President/CFO Robert Neal ($525,000, 150%, 225%) and EVPs Drew Wells and Tyler Hollingsworth ($475,000, 125%, 195%) through the end of 2029.
Analysis · ALGT · Energy & Transportation
Allegiant has committed to six more 737-8s for 2028 delivery, lifting its firm Boeing order book to 56 aircraft with 74 options still open. The $720 million-plus list price is before discounts and escalation, so actual capital outlay will differ, but it is a multi-year fleet commitment layered on top of the $540 million of credit facilities put in place in July and the $177.5 million aircraft-secured borrowing drawn on October 19. Separately, the company re-signed its CEO, president/CFO and two EVPs to contracts running through 2029, with CEO Anderson's package set at a $750,000 base, a 180% target cash bonus and a 300% target equity grant. That removes near-term leadership uncertainty but raises fixed compensation costs.
