Our access to additional financing on acceptable terms is limited.
Volatility of aircraft values may affect our ability to obtain financing secured by our aircraft.
Our fixed-wing aircraft fleet consists primarily of older aircraft which require more maintenance and repair than newer aircraft, exposing us to the potential risks of higher maintenance costs and loss of revenues during extended periods of maintenance and overhaul.
We depend upon our Boeing 747 aircraft to generate the majority of our flight revenue.

Many of the arrangements with our customers are not long-term contracts. As a result, our revenue streams may be unpredictable.

We are also dependent upon continued business with the U.S. Postal Service.

Our ability to provide accurate and timely financial statements is subject to the risks posed by any weaknesses in our financial reporting controls which might occur in the future.
Our operating results could be adversely affected by the loss of certain key personnel.
All of the outstanding shares of Holdings common stock are controlled by two principal shareholders.
