The following was posted on 26 June 2011 in this thread, or something similar, but for some reason better known to themselves, it was deleted by the MODS:
G-CGET & G-GDFA will be leaving with 3 737-800's and 2 757's coming, as their replacement and for further expansion from various bases.


From the Allegiant Air website the news is as follows on 6 July 2011:
LAS VEGAS – Allegiant has obtained approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to begin operating the Boeing 757-200 aircraft type.


Allegiant’s operating fleet now consists of 51 MD-80 aircraft and one Boeing 757-200 aircraft. The company owns three additional 757-200 aircraft, which are being leased to two European carriers until mid-2012. These aircraft are expected to be introduced into Allegiant’s fleet during the first quarter of 2012.


According to Jethro's:
G-CGET 27455/2709 B733-33A was registered to AWAS on 28 July 2011 and therefore no longer with JET2.
G-GDFE 24131/1541 B733-3Q8-QC (Quick Change) was acquired by JET2 and delivered to LBA on 23 July 2011.


G-GDFA, the white painted B733 with a red tail is still in the fleet according to Jethro's.


There has been no news concerning the two B752s belonging to Allegiant Air, which will appear to need replacing sometime before the summer 2012 and a further two B752s would appear to be needed, if the original post on 26 June is correct, making a total of 4 new B752s. Further another 3 B738s would be needed for summer 2012 with the larger programmes at all bases.

It will be very interesting to see where they get the B752s from, as they are proving to be very popular and not readily available in the market at the moment.
