Allegiant to close crew base.

Allegiant to close crew base. The shutdown is slated for November. Thursday, April 02, 2026 at 10:30 AM ET Edited By: Key takeaways: Allegiant plans to close its crew base in Bellingham, Washington, airport officials announced Wednesday. The Port of Bellingham, which operates Bellingham International Airport, said it was informed by Allegiant that the crew base will shut down in November. The move will change Allegiant's crew scheduling, the port said, but the carrier has confirmed "it will continue operating all existing routes and maintaining its current flight schedule at BLI." Allegiant confirmed the closure in a statement to AirlineGeeks. "After careful evaluation, we have made the difficult decision to close our base in Bellingham, effective Nov. 2," the carrier said. "However, we will continue to operate the station past this date. This decision reflects changes in cross-border demand patterns and operating conditions. Please know this decision was not made lightly but is unavoidable at this time. Bellingham has long been an important part of our network, and we will continue to monitor the demand environment and adjust as market conditions evolve." The Port of Bellingham said Allegiant will transition to a "turn-based" model, where its crews and aircraft operate routes from other bases without overnight stays in Bellingham. The agency acknowledged it is "disappointed" by the planned closure but emphasized that the broader community will see little or no direct impact. "This decision is related to how Allegiant organizes its internal operations, not its commitment to the traveling public of Whatcom County," Matt Rodriguez, director of aviation at Bellingham airport, said in a news release. "Allegiant will continue to serve BLI, and passengers will see no change to routes or service." The Port of Bellingham said Allegiant's decision was influenced by fluctuating fuel costs, regional cost pressures, and changes in cross-border travel demand, particularly among Canadian travelers. Allegiant connects Bellingham to Oakland, Burbank, San Diego, and Palm Springs in California, Las Vegas, and Phoenix-Mesa.

Fatal fall sparks lawsuit against airline over wheelchair boarding.

Fatal fall sparks lawsuit against airline over wheelchair boarding. A routine boarding process turned tragic for one family, now at the center of a lawsuit accusing Allegiant Air of failing to follow basic safety procedures. According to the New York Post, Hunter Adkins, 24, who had muscular dystrophy, was attempting to board a flight at Huntington Tri-State Airport on March 28, 2024, alongside his father and 9-year-old brother, when things allegedly went wrong. The Las Vegas Review reported that in the complaint, the aircraft's captain instructed crew members to speed up boarding, creating a rushed and chaotic environment. The lawsuit claims that in that rush, required safety measures were ignored. Adkins was not provided with an additional assistant or the specialized narrow "aisle wheelchair" needed to safely board the aircraft. Instead, an attendant attempted to maneuver him through the plane's entry door using his motorized wheelchair. That's when disaster struck. Adkins' wheelchair allegedly tipped over, sending him face-first onto the ground, with the chair crashing down on top of him. The fall happened in front of his father and younger brother, according to the filing. Should airline safety procedures for boarding disabled passengers be revised after a fatal incident? Unable to break his fall due to his condition, Adkins suffered severe injuries. He was taken to a hospital, where he died roughly 15 hours later from blunt force trauma. The lawsuit argues that federal regulations required at least two attendants to assist him, but only one was provided. It also alleges staff failed to use a proper wheelchair equipped with safety straps designed specifically for boarding aircraft. "Despite being able to see how the wheelchair assistant was improperly boarding Hunter E. Adkins, crew members at the plane's entrance did nothing to intervene to ensure Hunter E. Adkins's safe boarding," the complaint reads. Family members are seeking a jury trial and damages exceeding $15,000. In response, Allegiant Air declined to comment directly on the case but expressed sympathy. "While we cannot comment on pending litigation, we extend our deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones affected by this heartbreaking situation," a company spokesperson said in a statement to the Post.
