Senior Secured Notes

In August 2022, the Company issued $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 17, 2022. The 2027 Notes are secured by first priority security interests in, subject to permitted liens, substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, except that the collateral package excludes aircraft, aircraft engines, and certain other assets. The collateral also secures the Company’s $150.0 million revolving credit facility (described below), on a pari passu basis. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25 percent per annum, payable in cash on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2027 Notes mature on August 15, 2027.
The 2027 Notes contain certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things: (i) make restricted payments; (ii) incur indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (iii) create or incur certain liens; (iv) dispose of loyalty program or brand intellectual property collateral; (v) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all assets and (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

The 2027 Notes also require the Company to comply with certain affirmative covenants, including to maintain a minimum aggregate amount of liquidity of $300.0 million. If the Company fails to satisfy the minimum liquidity requirement, then the Company will be required to pay additional interest on all outstanding 2027 Notes in an amount equal to 2.0% per annum of the principal amount of such 2027 Notes until the Company demonstrates compliance with the liquidity requirement.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company redeemed and repurchased $147.0 million of the 2027 Notes through a combination of redemptions and open-market repurchases. As of December 31, 2025, $403.0 million of the 2027 Notes remain outstanding.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates ownership, contractual lease arrangements and other interests in entities to determine if they are variable interest entities ("VIEs") based on the nature and extent of those interests. The Company consolidates a VIE when, among other criteria, it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE, thus making the Company the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has entered into similarly structured agreements with trusts to borrow amounts collateralized by aircraft and engines.The trusts were funded at inception of the loan and at maturity, the Company will have purchase options at fixed amounts. As these transactions are common control transactions, the Company, as the primary beneficiary, measured and recorded the assets at their carrying values at the time of borrowing.

Revolving Credit Facilities

In August 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provided a senior secured revolving loan facility of $75.0 million, with an original term of 57 months. The facility is secured by the same collateral that secures the 2027 Senior Secured Notes (discussed above), and notes under the facility will bear interest at a floating rate based on SOFR. In December 2025, the Company amended the revolving loan facility to increase the total commitment to $150.0 million and extend the maturity date to December 5, 2030, subject to acceleration based on the balance and status of the 2027 Notes. As of December 31, 2025, the facility remained undrawn.

In March 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility, under which it was entitled to borrow up to $50.0 million. In February 2023, the Company extended the term of this agreement to March 2026 and the commitment was increased to $100.0 million. In April 2025, the agreement was further amended to extend the maturity date to April 2028. The borrowing ability is based on the value of the aircraft and engines placed into the collateral pool. The notes for amounts borrowed under the facility will bear interest at a floating rate based on SOFR. As of December 31, 2025, the facility was undrawn.

Debt Secured by Aircraft and Other Assets

The Company is party to financing agreements under which aircraft, other equipment or other assets serve as collateral. Below are described those debt transactions entered into or that were drawn or repaid during 2025.

In September 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement under which it was entitled to borrow up to $412.1 million collateralized by aircraft, which was drawn in full during 2023 and 2024. In December 2025, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $50.8 million reducing the principal amount owed under this credit agreement.

In March 2024, the Company entered into credit agreements under which it was entitled to borrow up to $218.5 million, collateralized by new aircraft upon delivery. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company borrowed the entirety of the $218.5 million available under these agreements, resulting in the facilities being fully drawn. The loans bear interest at a variable rate based on three-month SOFR and are payable in quarterly installments over a term of 12 years.

In April 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a borrowing capacity of up to $221.3 million to be secured by new aircraft upon delivery. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company borrowed the entirety of the $221.3 million available under the agreement, resulting in the facility being fully drawn. The borrowing carries a variable interest rate based on three-month SOFR and consists of two tranches maturing in seven and twelve years payable in quarterly installments with a balloon payment at maturity.

In June 2025, the Company entered into a financing agreement providing for borrowings of up to $149.2 million secured by new aircraft upon delivery. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company borrowed the entirety of the $149.2 million
available under the agreement, resulting in the facility being fully drawn. The loan bears interest at a variable rate based on three-month SOFR and matures twelve years from the drawing date, payable in quarterly installments.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company fully repaid several facilities secured by aircraft and other assets ahead of their originally scheduled maturity dates. The repayments totaled $204.7 million, including the $50.8 million mentioned above. The loans repaid were originally scheduled to mature between October 2025 and September 2036.

PDP Financing

In November 2023, the Company entered into a pre-delivery deposit financing facility to borrow up to $158.0 million secured by the Company's purchase rights for certain Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The facility bears a floating interest rate based on SOFR and was originally due upon delivery of each aircraft or no later than June 30, 2025. In April 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of the agreement to no later than March 2027. The Company drew a total of $132.6 million on the facility between November 2023 and February 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company fully repaid the $132.6 million in outstanding principal, and the facility had undrawn borrowing capacity of $25.1 million as of that same date.

Finance Leases

The Company has finance lease obligations related to 23 aircraft, which impacted the Company's recognized assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025. See Note 7 for more information on the Company's finance lease obligations.

Construction Loan Agreement

In October 2021, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a credit agreement to borrow $350.0 million to fund the initial phases of Sunseeker Resort construction. The Company prepaid $250.0 million of the loan's principal balance during 2024, and in February 2025, prepaid the remaining $100.0 million principal balance resulting in full repayment of the loan.

Unsecured Debt
In December 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility and received proceeds of $130.5 million. The loan matured upon delivery of certain aircraft and was to be repaid using the proceeds from financing associated with those aircraft. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repaid the entirety of the $130.5 million outstanding under the facility as the associated aircraft delivered.
