The Electric Daisy Carnival livery that Allegiant Air introduced last year saw this Nevada-based airline partner with Live Nation and Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) creators – Insomniac. In doing so, it incorporated the EDC festival’s signature brand elements into the painting of this aircraft. The engines of the aircraft featured a bright Insomniac logo, while the new design added “pink, purple, and orange hues to Allegiant’s flowing ribbon design, which wraps around the fuselage and culminates in the signature sunburst tail.”

The Together We Fly livery of Allegiant Air was introduced at a ceremony at Punta Gorda Airport in Florida last year and was dedicated to the airline’s employees. The employees even inspired the design of the aircraft. After the employees were asked to submit words that described what they loved about the carrier they were working with, the employees responded with choices such as “bold,” “amazing,” “limitless” etc.

These words adorn the aircraft’s fuselage, which is draped with the words encapsulating the philosophy of the airlines: “Together we fly.”
CEO John Redmond echoed the dedication airline has towards its workers:
“We wanted to find a way to show the world that our employees are the lifeblood of Allegiant…This new livery is more than just a coat of paint; it symbolizes the collective strength and resilience of being Allegiant Proud. We hope it serves as a reminder of the incredible things our employees can accomplish when we work together.”

Draping itself into the colorful dreams of a foundation that makes wishes come true.

Holly Thomas, Make-A-Wish vice president of corporate alliances, was animated with the partnership Make-A-Wish had with Allegiant Air for this special livery:
“Allegiant’s contribution is crucial as nearly 77 percent of wishes require air travel, making it a mission critical resource. Great partners like Allegiant help us move closer to our vision of granting the life-changing wish of every eligible child,”
The Airbus A320 that Allegiant chose to drape in the colors of Make-A-Wish was based at Orlando Sanford International Airport in Florida. As 95% of kids of this foundation fly with Allegiant to Florida’s theme parks, the choice of the airport to introduce this livery was apt.
