Allegiant Travel Co. and Sun Country Airlines Announce Early Termination of HSR Act Waiting Period for Proposed Acquisition

Allegiant Travel Company and Sun Country Airlines have announced the early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. This is a significant step towards the completion of Allegiant's proposed acquisition of Sun Country. While antitrust clearance has been obtained, the transaction is still subject to other customary closing conditions, including approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the shareholders of both companies. The companies now expect the transaction to close in the second or third quarter of 2026. Allegiant CEO Greg Anderson expressed confidence that the combination will create a stronger leisure-focused airline, offering expanded networks, more travel options, and increased long-term value for shareholders. The filing also includes standard cautionary statements regarding forward-looking statements and information on where to find additional details about the transaction.
