This communication contains forward-looking statements under the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and often can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,”
“expect,” “guidance,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate”, “project”, “hope” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this communication are based on Allegiant’s and Sun Country’s current expectations, estimates and projections
about the expected date of closing of the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, their respective businesses and industries, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by Allegiant and Sun Country, all of which are subject to
change. Forward-looking statements in this communication may relate to, without limitation, the benefits of the proposed transaction, including future financial and operating results; the parties’ respective plans, objectives, expectations and
intentions; the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed transaction; expected synergies of the proposed transaction; the timing and result of various regulatory proceedings related to the proposed transaction; the ability to
execute and finance current and long-term business, operational, capital expenditures and growth plans and strategies; the impact of increased or increasing transaction and financing costs associated with the proposed transaction or otherwise, as
well as inflation and interest rates; and the ability to access debt and equity capital markets.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must
be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the following: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right
of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement for the proposed transaction; the risk that potential legal proceedings may be instituted against Allegiant or Sun Country and result in significant costs of defense,
indemnification or liability; the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close when expected or at all because required stockholder approvals, required regulatory approvals or other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a
timely basis or at all (and the risk that such regulatory approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction); the risk that the combined company
will not realize expected benefits, cost savings, accretion, synergies and/or growth from the proposed transaction or that any of the foregoing may take longer to realize or be more costly to achieve than expected; disruption to the parties’
businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the proposed transaction; the costs associated with the anticipated length of time of the pendency of the proposed transaction, including the restrictions contained in the definitive merger
agreement on the ability of each of Sun Country and Allegiant to operate their respective businesses outside the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the pendency of the proposed transaction; the diversion of Allegiant’s and Sun
Country’s respective management teams’ attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities on acquisition-related matters; the risk that the integration of Sun Country’s operations will be materially delayed or will be more costly
or difficult than expected or that Allegiant is otherwise unable to successfully integrate Sun Country’s businesses into its businesses; the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a
result of unexpected factors or events; reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of Allegiant’s or Sun Country’s customers, suppliers, employees, labor unions or other business partners, including those resulting from the announcement or
completion of the proposed transaction; the dilution caused by Allegiant’s issuance of additional shares of its common stock in connection with the consummation of the proposed transaction; a material adverse change in the business, condition or
results of operations of Allegiant or Sun Country; changes in domestic or international economic, political or business conditions, including those impacting the airline industry (including customers, employees and supply chains); Allegiant’s and Sun
Country’s ability to successfully implement their respective operational, productivity and strategic initiatives; the outcome of claims, litigation, governmental proceedings and investigations involving Allegiant or Sun Country; and a cybersecurity
incident or other disruption to Sun Country’s or Allegiant’s technology infrastructure.
Forward-looking statements in this communication are qualified by and should be read together with, the risk factors set forth above and the risk factors included in
Allegiant’s and Sun Country’s respective annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as the risk factors included in Allegiant’s registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No.

Exhibit 99.1
Allegiant and Sun Country Achieve Key Regulatory Milestone with DOT Approval
U.S. Department of Transportation Exemption Allows Both Airlines to Continue Operating Under Common Ownership Following Closing
LAS VEGAS, NV and MINNEAPOLIS, MN — April 15, 2026 — Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) and
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNCY) today announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has approved the joint interim exemption application of their respective airline subsidiaries that will allow both airlines to
continue operating as separate carriers under common ownership after closing, pending further action by the DOT.
This milestone marks a significant step toward completing Allegiant’s previously announced proposed acquisition of Sun Country.
Under the terms of the approval, following the closing of the proposed transaction, Allegiant and Sun Country will continue to operate independently, preserving their
unique business models, route networks, and customer experiences while advancing toward a single operating certificate. The companies believe this structure will enable both airlines to continue delivering value to customers, employees, and
stakeholders while ensuring operational continuity.
“This approval underscores the strength of our shared vision and the thoughtful approach both teams have taken throughout this process,” said Gregory C. Anderson, CEO of
Allegiant. “We remain focused on bringing these organizations together in a way that builds on their strengths, while positioning the combined company for long-term growth and resilience.”
Jude Bricker, President and CEO of Sun Country, added: “We appreciate the DOT’s review
and approval of our joint request. This milestone allows us to move forward with confidence while continuing to serve our customers and communities without disruption.”
The grant of an exemption by the DOT satisfies the last remaining regulatory approval-related condition to the closing of the proposed transaction. The closing remains
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining customary closing conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of each of Allegiant and Sun Country. Allegiant and Sun Country have scheduled their respective special meetings of
shareholders for May 8, 2026. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining conditions to closing, Allegiant and Sun Country now expect the closing to occur as early as May 13, 2026 following shareholder approval at the special meetings.
The companies will continue to work collaboratively to prepare for closing and ensure a seamless transition that prioritizes safety, service, and operational excellence.
