Adjusted negative EBITDA also worsened, reaching $13.1 million compared to $6.7 million in the prior year. Volato's business development is centered around its aircraft ownership program, which operates a fleet of 24 HondaJets and 6 managed aircraft, and offers charter flights and aircraft management services. The company has orders for 22 additional HondaJet Elite IIs and four Gulfstream G280 jets, with deliveries expected through 2025. Volato's future plans include investments in technology and systems to improve fleet availability and utilization, as well as developing new products leveraging yield management expertise. The company faces challenges from market competition, costs and expense management, economic conditions, and pilot availability. Volato's liquidity sources include financing activities and aircraft sales, with $8.3 million in cash and restricted cash as of March 31, 2024. The company acknowledges substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and plans to raise additional capital to fund operations.
