One of the credit facilities for $150 million expires in March 2025 and is secured by certain accounts receivable, spare engines, spare parts, and ground service equipment.

Both facilities have variable interest rates based on SOFR plus a specified margin. A third credit facility for $76 million expires in June 2024 and is secured by aircraft. Alaska has secured letters of credit against the third facility, but has no plans to borrow using either of the other two facilities. All credit facilities have a requirement to maintain a minimum unrestricted cash and marketable securities balance of $500 million. Alaska was in compliance with this covenant at September 30, 2023.
