Global Crossing Airlines JETBF

The company focuses on two core business models: offering aircraft crew maintenance and insurance (ACMI) wet lease contracts to airlines and non airline customers, and providing charter flights where the customer pays an all in fee that covers fuel insurance landing navigation and most operational costs. Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. serves markets in the United States Europe Canada Central and South America. Its strategy is to become a best in class narrow body ACMI charter airline by maintaining a modern fleet and a customer centric team of flight crew ground staff and maintenance personnel. As of the most recent reporting period the company operated a fleet of nineteen aircraft including fifteen passenger configured A320 family jets and four freighter converted A321F units. This fleet composition allows Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. to flexibly shift capacity between passenger and charter missions based on market demand.

The company generates revenue primarily from ACMI contracts where it receives payment for providing an aircraft crew maintenance and insurance while the customer assumes fuel demand and price risk. Charter services generate revenue through an all in fee that includes fuel insurance landing navigation and most operational fees and costs charged to the customer. Additional revenue comes from ancillary services such as maintenance support ground handling and other travel related offerings. The customer base consists of airlines tour operators college and professional sports teams incentive groups resorts casino groups and government agencies that require ad hoc or scheduled aircraft capacity.

The company operates through the following segments:

• ACMI segment provides wet lease contracts that include aircraft crew maintenance and insurance to airlines and non airline customers who retain responsibility for fuel demand and price risk.

• Charter segment offers passenger and cargo aircraft charter services where the customer pays an all in fee that covers fuel insurance landing navigation and most operational fees and costs.

Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. positions itself as a niche operator in the U. S. narrow body charter market focusing on the Airbus A320 family to differentiate from competitors that use a mixed fleet. Key competitors in the charter space include Eastern Airlines Express Breeze Airways and Avelo which have also dedicated aircraft to charter operations. The company’s competitive advantages stem from lower fuel burn and better cockpit crew pool availability of the Airbus A320 family as well as its range advantage that enables non stop flights between many North American South American Caribbean and European destinations. Additionally the aircraft’s strong maintenance dispatch reliability and ready availability of spare parts help reduce downtime and operating costs.
