En fordel med nyere fly er økt produktivitet. Selv om Allegiants flåte ble redusert fra 91 til 80 fly nå alle MD-80 maskinene ble parkert og ikke ble erstattet 1:1 av Airbus maskiner så økte for det produksjonen

Allegiant Air’s fast-tracked shift to an all-Airbus fleet is paying dividends, according to numbers from its first full quarter since it parked its last McDonnell Douglas MD-80.
Despite seeing its average fleet size drop to 80 from 91 year-over-year, Nevada-based LCC Allegiant’s first-quarter metrics included a 4.8% increase in total departures and a 17% increase in aircraft utilization. Spare aircraft dropped from 11 to four, further bolstering operations.
