Allegiant Travel Company Celebrated as a Top U.S. Airline by The Wall Street Journal in 2025
Allegiant Travel Company, known by its stock symbol (NASDAQ: ALGT), has been honored by The Wall Street Journal as one of the premier U.S. airlines in 2025. This recognition places Allegiant in a prominent position, ranking second overall and notably the highest among value carriers. This accolade highlights the airline's dedication to exceptional customer service, unwavering operational reliability, and industry-leading value proposition.
Earning a coveted spot on The Wall Street Journal's annual rankings underscores the trust and preference Allegiant has cultivated among its customers. The airline proudly achieved an impressive controllable completion rate of
99.89% in 2025, a metric that reflects the completion of flights unaffected by external disruptions like weather or air traffic control delays. Furthermore, it ranked first in the industry for having the fewest cancellations. Allegiant’s excellence doesn't stop there; it also leads the industry in baggage handling, managing to avoid involuntarily bumping a single passenger throughout the year.
With headquarters located in Las Vegas, Allegiant operates a robust network of over
550 nonstop routes, allowing leisure travelers seamless and budget-friendly access to their favorite destinations. This recognition from The Wall Street Journal reaffirms the company's unwavering commitment to providing a safe, pleasant, and dependable experience, always prioritizing customer needs in their operations.
Gregory C. Anderson, Allegiant's CEO, shared his reflections on this prestigious recognition, stating, "Being named among the top airlines by The Wall Street Journal is an incredible honor that reflects the consistency our team delivers every day. In an industry that often faces its challenges, we’ve always believed that straightforward principles—reliability, convenience, and care—form the backbone of exceptional service."
Mr. Anderson highlighted that it’s not solely about operational effectiveness; it’s about fulfilling the promise of a stress-free travel experience. This recognition emphasizes the significance of focusing on the essential details that matter most to the customers and acknowledges that providing peace of mind is paramount. "We are proud that our approach to customer service is resonating, and we remain dedicated to continuous enhancement, ensuring every flight brings us closer to earning our passengers' trust,” he added.
This year's honor also reflects a sustained upward trajectory for Allegiant in The Wall Street Journal's rankings over multiple years, demonstrating a disciplined approach to continuous improvement. Since 2021, Allegiant has consistently secured a top five position, and achieving second place in 2025 marks its highest ranking thus far. This progress illustrates how persistent investments in operational efficiency, customer care, and high-level execution result in tangible benefits for travelers.
"We have a rich history of delivering excellent service at an appealing price for our customers and take pride in being the airline of choice for recreational travelers," concluded Anderson.
The prestige of this accolade speaks not only to Allegiant's commitment to quality service but also to its unique business model, which effectively connects smaller markets with premier vacation destinations through non-stop flights.
