Case Study: Allegiant Air achieves secure, seamless single sign-on for 11,000 employees and contractors with Ping Identity

Allegiant travel company soars high with secure single sign-on

Allegiant Travel Company, a U.S. leisure airline with roughly 11,000 employees and contractors including pilots, flight attendants and ground staff, faced a fragmented identity problem: every system required different usernames and passwords and there was no centralized authentication for cloud or local apps. This created friction and security concerns as workers needed fast, easy access to critical tools across a variety of devices.

Allegiant deployed PingFederate to provide centralized single sign-on, enabling about 11,000 identities to access a dozen-plus cloud and internal applications with one set of credentials from desktops and company-issued tablets. The implementation was fast and low-cost to operate, simplified the user experience, allowed more apps to be integrated into a single authentication service, and delivered secure, ongoing access with minimal operational overhead.
