Other Events.

As previously announced, on January 11, 2026, Allegiant Travel Company, a Nevada corporation (“Allegiant”), entered into an

Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sun Country”), Mirage Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant

(“Merger Sub 1”), and Sawdust Merger Sub, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant (“Merger Sub 2”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into Sun Country (the “First

Merger”), with Sun Country surviving the First Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant and immediately following the First Merger, the merger of Sun Country with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and, together

with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiant.

The Merger Agreement provides that, as of immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger, Allegiant will increase the

size of its board of directors (the “Allegiant Board”) by three (3) members, and three (3) directors designated by Sun Country will join the Allegiant Board: (i) Jude Bricker, the President and CEO of Sun Country, and (ii) two (2) current

members of Sun Country’s board of directors (the “Sun Country Board”) reasonably acceptable to the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Allegiant Board.

On April 20, 2026, Allegiant issued a press release announcing that the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Allegiant Board had

approved Jennifer Vogel and Thomas Kennedy as the Sun Country designees to join the Allegiant Board upon completion of the Mergers. Upon their appointment to the Allegiant Board, Mr. Bricker, Ms. Vogel and Mr. Kennedy will be eligible to

participate in Allegiant’s standard non-employee director compensation program.

On April 8, 2026, Allegiant entered into an Advisory Services Agreement with Jude Bricker (the “Advisory Services Agreement”),

which will become effective the day after the consummation of the Mergers. Under the Advisory Services Agreement, Mr. Bricker will serve as an independent contractor and provide advisory services relating to the integration of Sun Country into

Allegiant, obtaining a single operating certificate for Allegiant Air, LLC and Sun Country, retention of charter and cargo customers and Sun Country business, continuity of Sun Country business relationships and consultation regarding the airline

industry and the businesses of Allegiant and Sun Country. Mr. Bricker will be paid $26,250 per month during the term of the Advisory Services Agreement and will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Allegiant’s

expense reimbursement procedures. This fee is separate from any compensation payable to him for service on the Allegiant Board. The Advisory Services Agreement continues until the earliest of Allegiant obtaining a single operating certificate for

Sun Country, Mr. Bricker no longer serving on the Allegiant Board, or fifteen (15) days after Allegiant gives notice of termination, except that if any of those events occurs within the first twelve (12) months after the effective date, the

Advisory Services Agreement will remain in place until the first anniversary unless the parties agree otherwise. Mr. Bricker will not be eligible for employee benefits under the arrangement. The Advisory Services Agreement will not become effective

if his employment with Sun Country terminates before the effective date or if the Mergers are not consummated.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

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.

333-294712), as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026 (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1362468/000114036126011799/ny20065073x3_s4.htm) (the “Registration Statement”), and readers should refer to such risks, uncertainties and risk factors

in evaluating such forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this communication are made only as of the date they were first issued, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws,

Exhibit 99.1

Allegiant Announces Future Board Composition Following Sun Country Acquisition

LAS VEGAS – April 20, 2026 – Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today announced the anticipated

structure of its Board of Directors following the acquisition of Sun Country Airlines (NASDAQ: SNCY). Upon closing, the Allegiant Board will expand from eight to eleven members with Jude Bricker, Jennifer Vogel and Thomas Kennedy, all current

Sun Country Board members, to join Allegiant’s Board at that time.

In January, Allegiant announced it was acquiring Sun Country in a transaction expected to close as early as May 13, 2026. The combination will form the leading,

leisure-focused U.S. airline that is expected to expand affordable, convenient service to more vacation destinations domestically and internationally. After closing, the combined company will operate under the Allegiant name. The airlines will

continue operating separately until receiving a single operating certificate from the FAA. There is expected to be no immediate change to ticketing or schedules, and customers can continue to book their flights through allegiant.com and

suncountry.com.

“This combination marks a major achievement for both Allegiant and Sun Country, and we look forward to the Allegiant leadership team guiding the

company forward,” said Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant’s founder and Board Chairman. He added, “the addition of Jude Bricker, Jennifer Vogel, and Thomas Kennedy to our Board reflects the governance structure established for the combined company in

the Merger Agreement and brings to the Allegiant Board even greater expertise in airlines, finance and corporate leadership that will benefit the shareholders, employees and customers of the combined companies.”

Joining the Board upon closing will be:

•

Jude Bricker has served as President and CEO of Sun Country Airlines since 2017 and has been a Sun Country director since 2018. A seasoned aviation executive with two decades of industry experience, he previously

served as Allegiant’s Chief Operating Officer and held multiple leadership roles at Allegiant from 2006–2017, overseeing key commercial, operational, and financial functions. Earlier, he was a finance manager at American Airlines. He

also served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps from 1996 to 2002. Mr. Bricker holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University and an MBA from the University of Texas, and he is an independent

director of SAS Airlines.

•

Jennifer Vogel has served as Chair of the Sun Country Airlines Board since March 2023 and has been a director since 2022. She is a former senior airline legal and compliance executive, having served as Senior Vice

President, General Counsel, Secretary, and Chief Compliance Officer of Continental Airlines (retired 2010). Ms. Vogel currently serves on the boards of AAR Corp. and the Telluride Regional Airport Authority and previously served on the

board of Virgin America. She holds a BBA from the University of Iowa and a JD from the University of Texas.

•

Thomas C. Kennedy has served on the Sun

Country Airlines Board since 2021. He is President and CEO, North America at SIXT Rental Car and previously served as its President and CFO. Mr. Kennedy is a former public-company CFO, including as CFO of Hertz Global Holdings, with

earlier senior finance leadership roles at Hilton Worldwide and Northwest Airlines. He holds a BA in Economics from Tulane University and an MBA from Harvard University.

“We are excited to welcome these accomplished leaders to Allegiant’s Board upon closing,” said Gregory C. Anderson, CEO of Allegiant. “Their experience and perspective

will be valuable as we continue building a stronger, differentiated airline that better serves the communities and customers across our combined network.”

The current Allegiant Board, led by Chairman Maurice J. Gallagher, will continue its oversight responsibilities, with the new members joining effective upon the

completion of the Sun Country acquisition.

Strategically, the combination brings together complementary route networks – Allegiant’s focus on small and mid-sized markets and Sun Country’s presence in larger cities

– creating more than 650 routes (551 Allegiant routes and 105 Sun Country routes) and connecting Minneapolis–St. Paul to additional mid-sized markets while expanding nonstop access to popular leisure destinations. The combined airline also adds

broader international reach by leveraging Sun Country’s service across Mexico, Central America, Canada, and the Caribbean, providing Allegiant customers access to 18 international destinations. The combined company will be headquartered in Las

Vegas while maintaining a significant presence in Minneapolis–St. Paul.
