Today on Facebook G4 posted "We've got some big news coming next week, stay tuned..." on their wall.
Any speculations on what this "big news" is gonna be, Hawaii?
Maybe they are gonna take some MD-80s off AA's hands . to me that would be big news but I don't know if they would tell everyone else that it is "big news"

Last friday a Thomson 752 G-BYAO was ferried from back from Norwich to Gatwick in the Allegiant colours, it's new reg is N905NV. And on sunday (also that day G-BYAO done some test flights) another ex Thomson 752 G-BYAP was ferried from Abu Dhabi to Norwich to be painted up in to Allegiant coulours, this bird will become N906NV.
So im guessing these aircraft will be used for the Hawaii route. That's all I see for now, any more info and i'll make sure it posted.

Maybe AA is having a 'buy one - get one free' sale; Buy a 757, get an MD80 free!

I think an airline like G4 could do a neat European operation from a place like PVD
1 based airplane doing:
3x London
2x Dublin
2x Paris
Experience is what you get when what you thought would work out didn't!
If they did anything like that I could see them try LGW. Sun Country does well with the 738 coming all the way here from MSP. Could also see them going to ORY, I hope G4 does go to Europe sometime in the future.

Sounds like Hawaii to me. The only question is, what routes will they go for? I'm sure they'll link Hawaii with BLI, EUG, FAT, perhaps also MRY, SCK, MFR, PSC and SMX. Maybe they'll even do stuff like BIL, MSO, and COS.
I'm wondering if they'll link Hawaii with LAS and AZA, as apparently both those markets are a bit too far from Hawaii for the WN and AS 738s. But given strong competition from US, HA, and various one-stop options they probably won't. For those reasons, I'd say LAX, OAK, and SAN are completely out of the question.
I'm also wondering which airports in Hawaii they will serve. HNL would be a given, but I think they could pull off service to the outer islands too.
In any case, this will be exciting to watch!
Flying in the middle seat of coach is much better than not flying at all!

Quoting aztrainer (Reply 11): Dot they have two are three 757 in G4 colors right now? Sorry, I cannot remember right now.
Right now I know for sure 100% that at least 2 757's are in Allegiant colours N905NV (ex G-BYAO) and N906NV (G-BYAP) which are both in the UK at the moment.

I didn't catch the tail number but there is at least one that AAY is actually operating out of LAS. I saw it depart LAS in the early evening 2 weeks ago.

Just had a quick check and yes they are only using 1 757 at the moment, the reg is N902NV which is another ex Thomson bird (G-BYAE). So yep you saw N902NV 2 weeks ago.

Hawaii? It seems like about time already. They better rush and put those flights on the site if they want to get in this summer. The window for a summer start is getting closer.

Quoting evanbu (Reply 17): G4 days are numbered in DSM. With WN coming to DSM, there is no way they stay in DSM. (Off the subject)
I wouldn't be so sure of G4 leaving DSM. WN and G4 coexist peacefully at GSP.
Quoting KarlB737 (Reply 19): Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) will be sharing details on TWO NEW Destinations.
LAX sounds like a given, but I wouldn't be surprised if the other one is MYR.
Quoting LGWflyer (Reply 8): Interesting so they are getting ex Thomson and American 757's. Will they be getting any ones from any other airlines?
Both Thomson and AA use Rolls-Royce engines on their wingletted 752s, so I would suspect that any additional 752s in the G4 fleet would have winglets and RR engines.

I'm willing to bet on a bunch of new mainland routes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think G4 can sell tickets for Hawaii until they get ETOPS approval.

Would love to see additional 757 domestic service to expand their LAS out east, like towards YNG!
Anyways I anticipate service to Hawaii... Not sure Allegiant has ever touted a "major announcement" on their Facebook like this.
I am PROUD to live in the greatest country on earth: The United States of America!

35 BobLoblaw: Time wise this is very doable with one plane and could even leave time for A-checks. But youre right about MX problems or delays.
36 mark8762: These airplanes will never see service. They will be parked in IGM for parts.
37 FATFlyer: Just to clarify, Allegiant currently owns 4 757s and is buying 2 more this quarter. Currently 1 of the 757s is in service with 3 out to other operator
38 dlramp4life: No more food on planes, G4 paint job on 767s and 777s, and outsourcing all airport duties everywhere. That would be a train wreck

53 RWA380: A 767 would allow them the make RFD's day with the aforementioned HNL-RFD-LGW flight. My bet is Hawaii routes will be announced. RDM to the Bay Area?
54 LGWflyer: Yeah I think they could do well using them especially with getting most of the 757's from the same airline. And the two 762's will be going nowhere a
