Operating cash flow decreased 30.6% to $27,200,000, primarily due to aircraft purchases for inventory and higher interest payments as the company's debt levels rose to fund its growth program. The company expanded its fleet with the addition of three E190 aircraft and one Fokker 100 aircraft. It also entered agreements to sell six E190 airframes and 13 Rolls-Royce engine cores. The company's profitability was impacted by industrial action within the aviation sector, which led to cancelled flights and maintenance backlogs.
