Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., Chairman of the Board

Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr. has been actively involved in the management of our Company since he became its majority owner and founded our current business strategy in 2001. He served as our chief executive officer from September 2023 to September 2024, having previously served in that capacity from 2003 until June 2022. He was designated chairman of the board in 2006 and continues to serve in that capacity. Prior to his involvement with Allegiant, Mr. Gallagher devoted his time to his investment activities, including companies he founded. Mr. Gallagher was one of the founders of ValuJet Airlines, Inc. (the predecessor of AirTran Airways, which was later acquired by Southwest Airlines) and served as an officer and director of ValuJet from its inception in 1993 until 1997. From 1983 until 1992, Mr. Gallagher was a principal owner and executive of WestAir Commuter Airlines.

Gregory Anderson, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Gregory C. Anderson is chief executive officer of Allegiant Travel Company, a role he has held since September 2024. Mr. Anderson was added to our board of directors at that time. As CEO, Mr. Anderson has sharpened Allegiant's strategic focus on its core airline business while positioning the company for durable, long-term growth as a leading leisure-focused U.S. carrier.

In 2026, Mr. Anderson led Allegiant's acquisition of Sun Country Airlines, a defining transaction that brought together two complementary leisure carriers and created the leading leisure-focused airline in the United States, expanding the combined network to nearly 175 cities and more than 650 routes across the U.S., Mexico, Central America, Canada, and the Caribbean. In 2025, he oversaw the sale of Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor, a move that reinforced Allegiant's airline-centered strategy and strengthened the company's balance sheet.

Mr. Anderson's appointment as CEO followed nearly two decades in progressive leadership positions at Allegiant spanning finance, treasury, accounting, and executive management. He served as our president from August 2022 until November 2025 and as chief financial officer from April 2019 through January 2023, and previously held roles including executive vice president, principal accounting officer, and senior vice president of treasury.

Since joining Allegiant in 2010, Mr. Anderson has helped shape the company's financial strategy, capital structure, and long-term growth trajectory. He was a key leader in guiding the company through the COVID-19 pandemic, preserving liquidity and positioning Allegiant for recovery, and has since steered the business through supply-chain constraints, inflationary pressures, and aircraft availability challenges while maintaining a disciplined financial posture.

Before joining Allegiant, Mr. Anderson worked in corporate accounting at US Airways and began his career in public accounting at Ernst & Young.
