Las Vegas-based budget carrier Allegiant Air has a rather interesting fleet history, having initially flown rear-engined McDonnell Douglas narrowbody twinjets from the DC-9 and MD-80 families in its early years. Since then, it has grown to rely heavily on single-aisle Airbus jets from what is now known as the A320ceo ('Current Engine Option') family, but, as it looks to the future, it has deployed a new strategy.

Indeed, rather than arranging like-for-like replacements from the new Airbus A320neo ('New Engine Option') family, the path that Allegiant Air has chosen to take involves putting the rival Boeing 737 MAX series at the heart of its fleet development. Let's take a closer look at Allegiant Air's fleet today.
