Why can’t Allegiant and other new airlines be accommodated at Sea-Tac?
Airlines – like all businesses – operate under different models. Allegiant is a low-fare carrier that strives to reduce is operating costs in a multitude of ways including serving lower cost airports like Paine Field. They’re looking for market niches – areas that are underserved. Allegiant doesn’t want or need the services – or the expenses – that go along with operating at Sea-Tac.
