Note 13 – COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties

COVID-19, which was declared a global health pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has driven the implementation and continuation of significant, government-imposed measures to prevent or reduce its spread, including travel restrictions, “shelter in place” orders and business closures. Consequently, the Company has experienced a decline in the demand for its passenger services due to travel restrictions significantly reducing the number of commercial airline passengers and office closures that required many people to work from home. As a result of this decline, the Company paused its airport service from March 2020 through June 2021 and significantly reduced the number of its Northeast commuter flights. In addition, the Company did not renew certain agreements with its operators for some charter services that were in effect prior to COVID- 19. Despite the decline in its core business, the Company saw an increase in demand for its MediMobility organ transport and jet business during the pandemic.

While the ultimate impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change, the Company was able to resume its New York by-the-seat airport flights on June 1, 2021, beginning with service between Manhattan and JFK Airport. Additionally, the Company has seen recovering demand on its other short-distance routes. However, adverse developments related to the pandemic, such as delays in vaccine distribution and administration, the emergence of new viral strains that are not responsive to the vaccine, or a continued lack of demand for air travel from the public, could slow the recovery of the Company’s short-distance products and postpone the Company’s ability to resume paused services or launch planned route expansions.
