Allegiant Reports August 2020 Traffic
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today reported preliminary passenger traffic results for August 2020.
"Average daily bookings for the month of August were roughly $2 million," stated Gregory Anderson, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Allegiant Travel Company. "We continued to maintain a broad selling presence with available seat miles remaining relatively flat year over year. At recent booking levels, average daily cash burn is expected to be greater than $1 million for the third quarter, which includes payments due in conjunction with the termination of the loan agreement with Sixth Street Partners. We have been pleased to see modest week over week improvements in daily bookings throughout the month of August and into September. If current booking trends remain stable, we continue to expect average daily cash burn to be lower than $1 million in the fourth quarter."
