- Total New Borrowings: $92.4 million ($50.4 million + $42.0 million).
- Transaction 1 (July 22): $50.4 million drawn under a senior secured revolving credit facility.
- Transaction 2 (July 28): $42.0 million borrowed under a loan agreement secured by three Airbus A319 aircraft.

The filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or overall liquidity positions beyond the specific proceeds from these borrowings.
Material Changes
