    Savi Syth's questions to Bristow Group (VTOL) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Savi Syth of Raymond James inquired about the outlook for the Government Services business in the U.S. amidst political spending discussions. She also asked for management's view on which global regions might be the easiest or have the most demand for initiating Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations.

    Answer

    President and CEO Chris Bradshaw responded that the company expects a continuation of current business in the U.S. government sector, with some optimism for incremental opportunities if the government seeks efficiencies through private sector partnerships. Regarding AAM, Bradshaw suggested that initial scaled operations might occur outside the U.S. and Europe, in regions like the Middle East or Africa, where state sponsorship is strong and regulatory hurdles may be lower.

    Savi Syth's questions to SAVE leadership

    Savi Syth's questions to SAVE leadership • Q2 2024

    Question

    Asked if the company is seeing booking improvements at the end of the quarter and sought clarification on whether the recent leasing transaction means the entire aircraft order book has been monetized.

    Answer

    It is too soon to see significant improvement in advanced bookings, but they are seeing some positive trends in the booking curve closer to departure dates. The transaction was not a monetization of the full order book; it was a structured sale-leaseback for 36 aircraft and a PDP advance for 52 others to enhance near-term liquidity, with the latter 52 remaining in Spirit's order book.
