Fleet deals executed during 2014 n Transactions for 16 future A320 series aircraft have been executed so far during 2014  Forward Purchase Transactions: " 1 A320 delivering in 2015 " 1 A319 delivering in 2016 " 2 A319s delivering in 2016  Purchase of Aircraft Currently on Lease: " 12 A319s redelivering in 2018 n Discussions are ongoing for additional transactions 35


Purchase of 12 leased A319s n In June 2014, the Company entered into separate agreements to acquire the ownership interests in twelve special purpose companies each owning one A319 aircraft currently on lease to a European carrier until 2018 n Allegiant does not intend to become a leasing company n Strategy is vastly different from other airlines that have announced intention to become a leasing company (quantities, timing, growth expectations, etc.) n Sale and lease back transactions are one type of acquisition strategy and provide aircraft commonality and greater fleet plan certainty than spot market transactions n Leasing is not a core business but is P&L accretive (3Q14 totals in $USD 000s): n Hedged foreign currency income 36 Revenue 10,225 Expenses 5,593 3Q14 Pre-tax Income 4,632


Airbus update n Current fleet of 10 A320 series aircraft (7 A320s + 3 A319s) n Airbus transition allows for additional efficiency on variable costs for the higher utilization portion of the network while allowing us to maintain low costs at relatively low daily utilization n High Degree of Commonality:  A319s previously operated by easyJet " 3 in service " 2 in delivery (see photo  N303NV) " 7 additional commitments " 12 owned and on lease  A320s previously operated by Iberia " 7 in service " 2 in delivery " 1 additional commitment 37


Airbus update (contd) n A320 Market Update  Lease rates have firmed somewhat over the past 18 months  Pricing for sale transactions has remained relatively constant  Fewer A320s available for sale, as many lessors have opted to lease mid- aged A320s into emerging market airlines  Many airlines bridging to the NEO through short-term extensions  More weakness in A319s than in A320s n Additional Aircraft Sourcing  We remain confident in our ability to continue to source the aircraft needed to support fleet growth and eventual MD-80 replacement  We maintain close relationships with most airlines that have large owned fleets of A320s  Specialized technical & commercial knowledge of asset 38


Fleet flexibility with MD-80 aircraft n MD-80 remains an important and viable component of the fleet n Depreciation roll off provides flexibility to keep aircraft in the fleet or to retire aircraft if large A320 family transaction becomes available 39 - 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 MD-80 Depreciation per Aircraft per Month ($) Engines Airframe 166-seat Project Chart above is for current fleet only


Fleet flexibility with MD-80 aircraft (contd) n Maintenance costs have been stable over the long-term n Due to maintenance program timing, costs will be lumpy in the short-term 40 $103.35 $103.01 $129.56 $102.28 $96.50 $107 (1) $90 $95 $100 $105 $110 $115 $120 $125 $130 $135 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014EM a int e n a n c e p e r A C p e r m o s  th o u s a n d U S D Maintenance per aircraft per month (1) Represents midpoint of previously guided $105,000 - $110,000 per month per aircraft


Fleet flexibility with MD-80 aircraft (contd) n Boeing has completed the FAA approval for the Widespread Fatigue Damage / Limit of Validity for the MD-80 at 110,000 cycles and 150,000 flight hours 41 ~ 58,000 cycles remaining on most restrictive aircraft = 77 yrs. @750 cycles / yr. ~ 80,000 flight hours remaining on most restrictive aircraft = 46 yrs. @1,750 flight hours /yr.


Current debt / financing flexibility n Steep amortization of current loan balances will provide significant flexibility to optimize cash levels 42 Aircraft values are estimates using appraised market value forecasts and include current and committed aircraft only. Debt balances are based on amortization schedules for debt pertaining to current owned aircraft.
