(Moline, IL) — One of the few airlines to serve most of Illinois’ airports outside of Chicago is defending its reputation after a scathing report on its safety. Allegiant Airlines Monday called Sunday’s piece on “60 Minutes” ‘one-sided.’ The report cited federal reports that showed Allegiant had more than 100 serious mechanical issues in 2016 and 2017. Allegiant flies to the Quad Cities, Rockford, Peoria, Springfield, Bloomington-Normal, and the Metro East. An airline official said that they are proud of their dedication to safety.
