Scheduled flight from Sioux Falls (KFSD) to LAX (KLAX) made an emergency landing in Las Vegas due to a sensor getting to hot and a burning plastic smell in the cabin. Any audio of this event??

Allegiant Air? Are they a budget outfit? Scheduled or contract?

[Starblazer]

Allegiant is a scheduled public carrier.  They primarily run from smaller airports to leisure destinations such as LAX, LAS, PHX, MCO.  They pride themselves in low-low fares, so that means high-high fees.  Fees for booking online, over the phone. seat assignment fee, priority boarding fee, and of course, luggage fees.

They operate a fleet of 46 MD-81, 82, 83, 87, 88 series aircraft form its' Enterprise, Nevada Headquarters, but calls Las Vegas McCarran International Airport home. The average age of the fleet is 19.5 years. Here are some links with good info on the company:
