Issues continue to circle overhead for low-fare Allegiant Air as directors gathered in the profitable company's Las Vegas headquarters Thursday for a shareholder meeting.
Labour disputes with pilots and flight attendants, equipment problems causing cancelled flights and concerns about the CEO's spending on pet projects have plagued the small airline owned and operated by Allegiant Travel Co.
The airline's flight attendant union picketed in front of the headquarters Thursday.
Allegiant cancelled six flights in Florida the same day after an emergency landing there for pressurization problems.
Investor analysts have questioned Allegiant's spending on companies affiliated with its CEO including an in-flight television game show and sponsorship of his son's racing team.
Allegiant spokeswoman Jessica Wheeler says Allegiant's fleet is safe and the spending in question has not come from operations.
