Allegiant Travel Company issued $650 million in 7.125% senior secured notes due 2031 to refinance existing debt and support general corporate purposes. The notes are secured by most of the company's assets except aircraft and some other properties.

This refinancing aims to improve the company's debt profile and provide financial flexibility for future operations.
