(your company is Allegiant Airlines)
You are Top Management Team (TMT) of your respective assigned airline (Students will be divided among two airlines/teams). The industry is forecasting a
Pre-covid return end of year 2024. Assume that you have identified a great need for air service between four cities that have lost service due to another
airline’s route termination/airline liquidation. You have negotiated gate space, found suitable aircraft (4, 737 Max), and devised a solid marketing plan. You
just finished analyzing 2022 results and know that 2023 results will be similar. Based on a well-crafted pro forma, or projected, financial statement and
business plan indicated that you need $700M to start service to secure gate space and aircraft. Using the 2022, 10k Annual Reports, Forecasting 2023-2025,
your CEO would like to know what would be the best way to fund the expansion/growth, what is the anticipated Payback Period? Are their any economic
risks, if so, what? You should use Economics Data, the Financial Statements, Equity/debt data, and compare to competitors to analyze and prepare the
Business Plan Recommendation. The Business Plan Recommendation must show all your work.
