ALLEGIANT AIRLINES’ LONG LIST OF SERIOUS MECHANICAL INCIDENTS WERE EXPOSED LAST SUNDAY ON CBS’ “SIXTY MINUTES.” AND ALLEGIANT FLIES OUT OF THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT, BUT SUNPORT OFFICIALS WON’T MAKE A COMMENT ON THE REPORT.
THERE WERE MORE THAN 100 MECHANICAL PROBLEMS FOR ALLEGIANT FROM JANUARY 2016 TO OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR. MEANWHILE, ALLEGIANT DISPUTES THE REPORT AND SAYS IT FOLLOWS ALL FAA REQUIREMENTS. HOWEVER, ALLEGIANT’S MECHANICAL ISSUES INCLUDE ENGINE FAILURES THAT OCCURRED IN MID-AIR AND FLIGHT CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS.
