• Voluntary suspension requested to manage continuous disclosure obligations
• Expects to announce FY26 earnings materially lower than analyst consensus
• Recent repairs and maintenance costs and depreciation charges higher than anticipated

Alliance Aviation Services Ltd (ASX: AQZ) has requested a voluntary suspension of its securities on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The company has stated that the voluntary suspension is necessary to assist in managing its continuous disclosure obligations, as it expects to make an announcement to the market regarding a trading update. This update is likely to result in Alliance's FY26 earnings being materially lower than the current analyst consensus estimates for the company's FY26 earnings. The lower earnings are a result of recent repairs and maintenance costs, as well as higher-than-anticipated depreciation charges. Alliance has requested the voluntary suspension to allow the company time to prepare, validate, and verify the impact of these increased expenses on its ongoing financial performance before releasing the trading update to the market. The voluntary suspension will remain in place until the earlier of Alliance making the announcement regarding the trading update or the commencement of trading on Friday, 7 November 2025.
