Allegiant expects fewer aircraft from Boeing amid quality issues, Reuters says

Low-cost U.S. carrier Allegiant (ALGT) expects fewer aircraft deliveries from Boeing (BA) this year, its president told Reuters, as the planemaker grapples with the fallout of a frightening incident last month when a cabin panel tore off of a 737 MAX 9 jet mid-flight, Rajesh Kumar Singh reports. The Las Vegas-based airline was scheduled to receive 24 MAX planes in 2024, but Allegiant President Greg Anderson said it is working on the assumption that it will receive closer to 12 aircraft this year, the publication notes.
