Allegiant Reports July 2020 Traffic
Aug 11, 2020, 16:01 ET
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today reported preliminary passenger traffic results for July 2020.
"Gross bookings came in at roughly $2 million per day for the month of July," stated Gregory Anderson, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Allegiant Travel Company. "Holding July daily gross bookings constant for the duration of the quarter, we continue to anticipate average daily cash burn to be just over $1 million for the third quarter, which includes half of the $20 million expected settlement to Sixth Street Partners (formerly TSSP) related to the termination of the loan agreement intended to finance the development of Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor. We operated roughly 75 percent of our originally planned schedule during the month of July, with available seat miles down 9.8 percent year over year. This is consistent with expectations for the remainder of the quarter. We recognize that market conditions continue to evolve; therefore, we will refine capacity to better match the demand environment as needed."
