LAS
VEGAS, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) announced the launch of its
Allegiant Incentive program in collaboration with Berry Aviation, a
private aviation company offering various services, including
government, scheduled and on-demand cargo, MRO/CRO and FBO
operations.
This collaboration offers Allegiant access to a pool of
experienced pilots trained by Berry and enhances the diversity and
depth of talent available while providing immediate benefit for
both companies.
"We see tremendous value in our pilot pathway programs and are
excited to expand with Berry Aviation," said company President
Gregory C. Anderson. "Our
out-and-back business model provides flight crews with a unique
balance between work and home life, making Allegiant a desirable
airline for pilots at all levels of experience. We believe this
partnership fits beautifully in supporting the future growth of our
pilot ranks."
Berry, a Part 135 carrier, is an attractive employer for
early-stage pilots who must meet a minimum threshold of 1,500
flight hours to pursue a career in commercial aviation. The
partnership will help Allegiant enhance its pilot recruitment
pipeline by creating a reliable pathway for experienced pilots to
integrate seamlessly into the company's workforce.
Berry pilots enrolled in the Allegiant Incentive program must be
qualified as a Pilot in Command (PIC) for at least 18 months and
meet certain criteria to have direct entry into Allegiant New Hire
Training. Requirements include completing periodic check rides and
working towards ATP-CTP certification.
"Allegiant is a very unique 121 that offers pilots a very unique
career," said Stanley Finch, Berry
Aviation's president. "We're excited about partnering with
Allegiant to offer our pilots a roadmap to Allegiant's flight
decks."
Allegiant will provide programming and resources to support
pilot development including training, mentorship opportunities and
participation in Allegiant events.
