## Resource

Allegiant Airs acquisition of Sun Country Airlines forms a formidable low-cost carrier, with a fleet of 195 planes serving 175 cities. Despite initial stability, the merger coincides with soaring fuel prices, increasing average domestic fares by 19%. Spirit Airlines collapse further strains the market, but the combined entity aims to maintain affordable options, with potential expansion under the Allegiant brand.
