Current report
Took delivery of two A319 passenger aircraft.
Current report
From a crew perspective, GlobalX has increased its pilot headcount from 146 to 155 and increased its cabin crew headcount from 169 to 187, to support the current fleet and increased flight volume.
Current report
GlobalX added the A321F aircraft to its operating certificate during the first quarter of 2023. The Company believes that the A321F will eventually be a highly sought-after cargo aircraft as a replacement for the aging and retiring Boeing B757 freighter fleet. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had two cargo aircraft operating and two temporarily parked. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, GlobalX saw a 16.5% decrease in Block Hours operated compared to the same period in 2025. This decreased activity level demonstrates the cargo charter market continues to be a significant drag on earnings. This is primarily due to the low rates being offered by brokers and customers and the relatively low utilization rates on a per aircraft basis, relative to the rates offered. We expect this dynamic to continue, and consequently, we are exploring all options to mitigate future losses, including, but not limited to, leasing out engines, utilizing engines in our passenger fleet, parking aircraft, and/or returning one or more of our freighter aircraft to lessors.
Current report
We expect the existing charter operators based in the U.S. to respond to GlobalX’s entry into the market by lowering their pricing to customers. The expected competitive response typically includes lowered ACMI rates for key contracts. We believe GlobalX’s existing relationships with potential customers and the underserved demand in the U.S., coupled with our newer planes allowing for a more cost-efficient operation, will allow us to address and respond to competitive pressures and grow our business.

Operating Revenue & Statistics
Current report
Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $2.0 million or 10.6%, from $18.8 million in 2025 to $20.8 million in 2026, primarily due to expanded headcount across the organization to support the growing fleet and operations, as well as scheduled compensation adjustments reflecting market conditions and performance across all levels of the company. Pilots increased from 146 to 155, or by 6.2%.
Current report
Aircraft fuel increased by $0.4 million or 5.5% from $7.4 million to $7.8 million. Approximately 50.0% or $0.2 million of this increase is attributable to the increase in the amount of Charter and Non-Revenue Block Hours and approximately 50.0% or $0.2 million is attributable to an increase in the price of base jet fuel.
Current report
Maintenance, materials, and repairs increased by $3.1 million or 80.6%, from $3.9 million to $7.0 million. $2.5 million of the increase or 80.6% was primarily due to the increase in rate per operated Block Hour which increased $308 per Block Hour or 57.3% from $538 per Block Hour to $846 per Block Hour. This is primarily due to outsourcing the Miami line maintenance contributing a $103 per Block Hour impact, and significant price inflation in both external labor and parts. In addition, the volume of Block Hours operated increased 1,061 or 14.8%, from 7,164 to 8,225 Block Hours, resulting in an additional $0.6 million of expense.
Current report
Contracted ground and aviation services expenses increased by $0.9 million or 15.0%, from $6.3 million in 2025 to $7.2 million in 2026. This was primarily driven by an increased rate since contracted ground and aviation services are not associated with ACMI services.
Current report
Net Income
Current report
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of $63.6 million and retained deficit of $70.9 million. The Company began flight operations in August 2021. Without ongoing income generation or additional financing, the Company will be unable to fund general and administrative expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Current report
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $16.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and approximately $3.1 million in restricted cash, an increase and decrease of approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, from December 31, 2025. The changes were primarily due to new aircraft deliveries, customer deposits, and cash flow from operations.
Current report
In 2026 GlobalX expects to continue its business growth by (i) providing services on an ACMI basis using wet lease contracts to airlines and non-airlines, (ii) on a Charter basis providing passenger and cargo aircraft charter services to customers by charging an “all-in” fee that includes fuel, insurance, landing fees, navigation fees and most other operational fees and costs, (iii) extending GlobalX current operations within the United States, Europe, Canada, Central and South America and continuing recruiting and maintaining a dynamic team of customer-centric flight crews, ground teams and management staff, (iv) increasing GlobalX’s passenger aircraft fleet to nineteen and GlobalX’s cargo aircraft fleet to remain at four by the end of 2026, and (v) achieving an increase in total revenue.
Current report
The Company expects to improve profitability during the year 2026, mainly as a result of GlobalX’s strategy implemented starting in 2024 of developing and implementing growth in its revenue faster than its cost structure. There are a few factors the Company expects to drive the improved margins, including securing higher rates for both ACMI and Charter contracts and increasing the number of passenger aircraft from 15 to 19 along with improving seasonality on Cargo aircraft contracts.
Current report
The ability of GlobalX to execute its build-out and growth strategy and achieve operations will depend on the acquisition of substantial additional financing through debt financing, equity financing or other means. Failure to obtain such financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of such growth strategy or even impact the ability of GlobalX to continue as a going concern.
Current report
There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to GlobalX. If additional financing is raised by GlobalX through the issuance of its securities, then shareholders may suffer significant dilution. If additional financing is not available, or if available, not available on satisfactory terms, then this could result in a material adverse effect or could require GlobalX to reduce, delay, scale back or eliminate portions of its actual or proposed operations or could prevent GlobalX from continuing as a going concern. GlobalX may also need to raise capital by incurring long-term or short-term indebtedness in order to fund its business objectives. This could result in increased interest expense and decreased net income. Investors are cautioned that there can be no assurance as to the terms of any such financing and whether any such financing will be available. The level of GlobalX’s indebtedness could impair its ability to obtain additional financing to timely take advantage of future business opportunities that may arise.

GlobalX added the A321F (passenger to freighter) aircraft to its operating certificate during the first quarter of 2023. The Company continues to believe that the A321F will be a highly sought after cargo aircraft over the next few years as a replacement for the aging and retiring B757 freighter fleet. During nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had four cargo aircraft operating. GlobalX has seen over a 185% increase in block hours operated compared to the same period in 2024 attributed to contracts entered into during 2025. The cargo charter market continues to be soft due to, general economic conditions and excess capacity in the North American freight market. In response to this continued slowdown during the quarter, the Company continues to make progress establishing our reputation for on-time performance as the market better understands the capabilities of the A321F aircraft. While the Company cannot predict when the cargo market will recover, GlobalX has taken concrete steps to reduce our financial exposure in 2025 by canceling or deferring freighters ordered while expanding our customer base for the aircraft the Company does have.
Previous report
The U.S. Charter market continues to evolve as several airlines provide charter aircraft. Specifically, Eastern Airlines Express, Breeze Airways and Avelo continue to dedicate aircraft to charter operations, each of which has increased competition and applied downward pricing pressure on the charter market. It is our expectation that our competitors, including Eastern Airlines Express, will continue to add aircraft to expand their business domestically and in the Caribbean. In response we are focusing on our core business, emphasizing on-time performance, customer service, reinforcing our differentiation of our Airbus product and actively soliciting longer-term contracts with key customers.

Revenue & Statistics
Previous report
Charter revenue for the period decreased $12.7 million or 84.6%, from $15.0 million in 2024 to $2.3 million in 2025. The rate for Charter flying for the period increased 8.3% from $11,953 per block hour in 2024 to $13,015 per block hour in 2025, creating a $0.2 million increase. There was also a $12.9 million reduction for the period due to charter block hours decreasing 85.8% from 1,254 block hours in 2024 to 178 block hours in 2025. The decrease in charter block hours was due to an intentional focus on increased level of flying on an ACMI basis.
Previous report
ACMI revenue for the period increased by $16.4 million or 44.4%, from $36.8 million in 2024 to $53.2 million in 2025. This variance was primarily driven by an increase from 6,571 block hours in 2024 to 9,527 block hours in 2025, an increase of 45.0% or 2,956 block hours. This volume accounted for a 101.2% or $16.6 million of the increase during the period.
Previous report
Salaries, wages, and benefitsfor the period increased by $3.9 million, from $17.4 million in 2024 to $21.3 million in 2025, or 22.3%, primarily due to the hiring of personnel necessitated by the growing fleet and operations. Our total employees for the period increased 4.4% from 688 in 2024 to 718 in 2025 and pilots for the period increased from 144 in 2024 to 154 in 2025, or 6.9%.
Previous report
Aircraft fuelfor the period decreased by $2.8 million, from $4.1 million in 2024 to $1.3 million in 2025, or 67.3%, primarily driven by the volume of Charter and Non-Revenue block hours for the period which decreased by 64.5% or $2.7 million.
Previous report
Maintenance, materials, and repairs for the period increased by $1.7 million, from $3.4 million in 2024 to $5.1 million in 2025, or 49.4%. An increase of $1.1 million for the period was primarily due to volume from the increase in both the number of aircraft to 18 aircraft in 2025 and the number of block hours operated which increased 2,382 or 31.9% from 7,460 block hours in 2024 to 9,843 block hours in 2025. Also, an increase of a $0.6 million increase for the period occurred as the rate per block hour increased 13.3% from $462 per block hour in 2024 to $524 per block hour in 2025.
Previous report
Travel for the period decreased $0.5 million, from $2.2 million in 2024 to $1.7 million in 2025 or 22.9%. Throughout the period we expanded local hiring in key bases that support our government agency business and the reliance on travel dropped and is a cost that we expect to be a continued focus throughout 2025.
Previous report
Insurancefor the period decreased $0.3 million, from $1.6 million in 2024 to $1.3 million in 2025 or 21.9%, primarily related to the receiving more favorable rates despite the increase in the number of aircraft.
Previous report
Operating income (loss)for the period increased $3.5 million, from an operating loss of $2.5 million in 2024 to an operating income of $1.0 million in 2025. In addition, operating (loss) income as a percentage of revenue for the period improved from (4.4)% in 2024 to 1.8% in 2025. This was a direct result of GlobalX’s ability to grow its revenue faster than its cost structure as the airline focused on achieving scale and profitability. Two factors drove the improved margins. The first factor was utilization as our average utilization per available aircraft grew 25.8% for the period. The second factor was scale. As an example, when measured on a per block hour basis, there were savings on a per block hour basis in travel and insurance, which combined with the other factors to drive the improvement.
Previous report
Interest expensefor the period increased $0.6 million, from $2.4 million in 2024 to $3.0 million in 2025, driven by the increase of aircraft on capital lease from 1.0 to 4.0 equivalent aircraft, and the financed purchase of one A320 aircraft.

Previous report
Aircraft fuelfor the period decreased by $6.1 million, from $17.9 million in 2024 to $11.8 million in 2025, or 34.2%. The volume of Charter and Non-Revenue block hours for the period decreased by 26.5% or $4.7 million, while base jet fuel price decreased 10.5% or $1.4 million.
Previous report
Maintenance, materials, and repairs for the period increased by $5.4 million, from $9.0 million in 2024 to $14.4 million in 2025, or 59.7%. $1.6 million cost increase for the period was primarily due to volume from the increase in both the number of aircraft to an all-time Company high of 19 aircraft in 2025 and the number of block hours operated which increased 5,820 or 30.2% from 19,252 block hours in 2024 to 25,072 block hours in 2025. Also, a $2.7 million increase for the period occurred as the rate per block hour increased 22.6% from $469 per block hour in 2024 to $575 per block hour in 2025, driven by repairs of some high value Rotable parts.
Previous report
Contracted ground and aviation servicesfor the period decreased by $0.8 million, from $14.9 million in 2024 to $14.1 million in 2025, or 5.5%. An increase in ACMI block hours, which drive these expenses to be passed through to the customer, and decreased Charter block hours resulted in lower expenses.
Previous report
Travel for the period decreased $2.2 million, from $9.2 million in 2024 to $7.0 million in 2025 or 23.9%. Throughout the period we expanded local hiring in key bases that support our government agency business and the reliance on travel dropped and is a cost that we expect to be a continued focus throughout 2025.

Insurancefor the period decreased $1.0 million, from $4.8 million in 2024 to $3.8 million in 2025 or 20.9%, primarily related to the receiving more favorable rates despite the increase in the number of aircraft.
Previous report
Aircraft rentfor the period increased $0.3 million, from $43.5 million in 2024 to $43.8 million in 2025 or 0.6%, primarily driven by $6.8 million decrease in short-term ACMI leases from other airlines as increased GlobalX capacity to meet demand was achieved. Offsetting the savings was the increase in the average number of aircraft, on operating leases of aircraft in the fleet from 13.5 in 2024 to 14.4 in 2025 increasing base rent expenses $2.0 million, of which $1.4 million or 68% is due to increased aircraft and $0.6 million or 32% is due to average rate across the fleet. Also, the increase in block hours resulted in an increase for the period of $5.1 million in supplemental rent expenses.

Critical to GlobalX’s business model is, a fleet of modern and cost-effective aircraft. To achieve this objective, GlobalX has selected the A320 family of aircraft which it believes is the best overall single-aisle aircraft family to operate. This approach differs from traditional airlines, which purchase a variety of aircraft, often from different manufacturers, to achieve their operational flight sectors, resulting in increased training, operating and spare part costs. GlobalX conducted research to determine the best aircraft to fly in competition with other narrow-body charter airlines in the single-aisle seat market and GlobalX selected the A320 aircraft family.

In 2025, GlobalX has expanded on our existing relationships both domestically and internationally and grew operations in the ACMI market through increased focus on operating for government agencies and other key customers. As the Company grows, operational efficiency and margins have continued to improve. Our key metrics are block hours flown and block hours flown per available aircraft, which are the measures by which the Company tracks commercial activity. While other airlines discuss available seat miles, revenue per available seat mile (“rasm”), and cost per available seat mile (“casm”), these metrics are not germane to our business model as an ACMI and Charter operator. GlobalX charters the entire aircraft, does not take fuel risk, and does not take third party risk and therefore all results are evaluated on a block hour basis.

Previous wording
Charter revenue for the period decreased $25.5 million or 34.6%, from $73.6 million in 2024 to $48.1 million in 2025. The rate for Charter flying for the period increased 5.5% from $12,823 per block hour in 2024 to $13,457 per block hour in 2025, creating a $2.2 million increase. This was primarily offset by a $27.7 million reduction due to charter block hours decreasing 37.7% from 5,742 block hours in 2024 to 3,578 block hours in 2025. The decrease in charter block hours was due to an intentional focus on increased level of flying on an ACMI basis.
Current wording
Charter revenue for the period increased $3.7 million or 12.3%, from $30.5 million in 2025 to $34.2 million in 2026. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the rate for Charter flying of 31.6% from $13,588 per Block Hour in 2025 to $17,881 per Block Hour in 2026 resulting in an $8.2 million increase in revenue. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in Charter Block Hours of 14.7% from 2,246 Block Hours in 2025 to 1,916 Block Hours in 2026, which resulted in a $4.5 million decrease in revenue. The primary driver for the per Block Hour increase was related to both high market demand and a shortage of supply as competitors reduced capacity. The decrease in Charter Block Hours was due to an intentional focus on an increased level of flying on an ACMI basis and the Company’s exit from the Cuba-based charter market.
Previous wording
ACMI revenue for the period increased by $44.7 million or 51.2%, from $87.4 million in 2024 to $132.1 million in 2025. This variance was primarily driven by an increase from 14,141 block hours in 2024 to 21,388 block hours in 2025, an increase of 44.8% or 6,613 block hours. This volume accounted for 87.5% or $39.1 million of the increase during the period. The average revenue per block hour for the period increased by $261 per block hour from $5,914 per block hour in 2024 to $6,175 per block hour in 2025. The rate increase accounted for $5.6 million or 12.5% of the increase during the period. The primary driver for the increase was related to both high market demand and a shortage of supply as competitors reduce capacity.
Current wording
ACMI revenue for the period increased by $5.3 million or 15.6% from $34.3 million in 2025 to $39.7 million in 2026. This increase was driven by an increase in Block Hours from 5,076 in 2025 to 6,079 in 2026, an increase of 19.7% or 1,002 Block Hours resulting in a $7.3 million increase in revenue. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the rate for ACMI flying of 4.5% from $6,740 per Block Hour in 2025 to $6,429 per Block Hour in 2026 resulting in a $1.9 million decrease in revenue. The primary driver for the Block Hour increase was related to both high market demand and a shortage of supply. The rate decrease is a result of longer term ACMI contracts with higher minimum hours resulting in a lower rate per hour.
Previous wording
Other revenue for the period increased by $1.9 million from $0.6 million in 2024 to $2.5 million in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by additional ancillary services provided to our customers.
Current wording
Other revenue for the period increased by $0.9 million from $1.8 million in 2025 to $2.7 million in 2026. The increase is primarily driven by more fueling and other administrative services provided to our customers.
Previous wording
Depreciation and amortizationfor the period increased $1.4 million, from $1.9 million in 2024 to $3.3 million in 2025 or 74.3%, primarily driven by aircraft deliveries secured on capital leases, the purchase of an A320 aircraft, and an increase in Rotable parts owned.
Current wording
Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.4 million or 107.6%, from $2.2 million in 2025 to $4.7 million, primarily driven by aircraft deliveries secured on finance leases, the purchase of an A320 aircraft, and an increase in rotable parts owned.
Previous wording
Aircraft rentfor the period decreased $1.4 million, from $16.0 million in 2024 to $14.6 million in 2025 or 8.6%, primarily driven by a $2.6 million decrease in short-term ACMI leases from other airlines as increased GlobalX capacity to meet demand was achieved. Adding to the savings was the decrease in the average number of aircraft on operating leases of aircraft in the fleet from 14.4 in 2024 to 13.3 in 2025 decreasing base rent expenses $0.3 million, of which, $0.5 million is due to decreased aircraft, offset by $0.2 million due to average rate across the fleet. The increase in block hours resulted in an increase for the period of $1.5 million in supplemental rent expenses.
Current wording
Aircraft rent decreased $1.8 million or 11.6%, from $15.2 million in 2025 to $13.5 million in 2026, primarily driven by a $1.1 million decrease in the number of sub-service hours required. Adding to the savings was a decrease in base rent expenses of $1.3 million or 17.3% due to the decrease in the average number of aircraft on operating leases from 15.0 to 13.0 aircraft in the fleet. Offsetting the savings, was an increase in supplemental rent expenses of $0.6 million or 10.5% from $6.0 million in 2025 to $6.6 million in 2026 driven by a year-over-year increase in Block Hours.
Previous wording
Operating income (loss)for the period improved $12.0 million, from an operating loss of $4.6 million in 2024 to an operating income of $7.4 million in 2025. In addition, operating (loss) income as a percentage of revenue for the period improved from (2.8%) in 2024 to 4.0% in 2025. This was a direct result of GlobalX’s ability to grow its revenue faster than its cost structure as the airline focused on achieving scale and profitability. Several factors drove the improved margins. The first factor was rates as the Company was able to secure higher rates for ACMI contracts. The Company’s ACMI rate for the period grew 4.4%, from $5,914 per block hour in 2024 to $6,175 per block hour in 2025. The second factor was utilization as our average utilization per available aircraft grew 8.4% for the period. The third factor was scale. As an example, when measured on a per block hour basis, there were savings on a per block hour basis in travel and insurance, which combined with the other factors to drive the improvement.
Current wording
Operating income improved $3.0 million, from $3.1 million in 2025 to $6.1 million in 2026. Operating income as a percentage of revenue improved by 3.3% from 4.7% in 2025 to 8.0% in 2026. This improvement was a result of GlobalX’s ability to grow its revenue faster than its cost structure as the airline works towards achieving scale and profitability. Three factors drove these results: rates, utilization and scale. The Company’s Charter rate for the period grew 31.6%, from $13,588 per Block Hour in 2025 to $17,881 per Block Hour in 2026. The Company’s average utilization per available aircraft grew 24.9% for the period, from 442 Block Hours in 2025 to 552 Block Hours in 2026. The Company’s increasing scale also contributed to this positive result, for example, there were savings on a per Block Hour basis in travel and insurance, which combined with the other factors to drive the improvement.
Previous wording
Interest expensefor the period increased $1.8 million from $6.4 million in 2024 to $8.2 million in 2025, driven by the increase of aircraft on capital lease from 1.8 to 4.0 equivalent aircraft, and the financed purchase of one aircraft.
Current wording
