Revenue & Statistics
Current report
(1) Total Block Hours hours operated by GlobalX for the purpose of expressing the utilization of GlobalX net available aircraft.
Current report
Charter revenue for the period decreased $1.2 million or 7.8%, from $15.3 million in 2025 to $14.1 million in 2026. This decrease was primarily driven by a 32.2% decrease in Charter Block Hours, from 1,154 Block Hours in 2025 to 782 Block Hours in 2026, resulting in a $4.9 million decrease in revenue. This decrease was partially offset by a 36.1% increase in the Charter flying rate, from $13,272 per Block Hour in 2025 to $18,072 per Block Hour in 2026, resulting in a $3.7 million increase in revenue. The increase in the per-Block-Hour rate was primarily driven by high market demand, higher fuel prices, and a shortage of supply as competitors reduced capacity. The decrease in Charter Block Hours was due to an intentional focus on increased ACMI flying and the Company’s exit from the Cuba-based charter market.
Current report
ACMI revenue for the period increased by $0.1 million or 0.2%, from $44.5 million in 2025 to $44.6 million in 2026. This increase was driven by a 2.6% increase in Block Hours, or 175 Block Hours, from 6,769 Block Hours in 2025 to 6,944 Block Hours in 2026, resulting in a $1.1 million increase in revenue. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the rate for ACMI flying of 2.6% from $6,579 per Block Hour in 2025 to $6,426 per Block Hour in 2026 resulting in a $1.0 million decrease in revenue. The Block Hour increase was primarily driven by high market demand and a shortage of supply. The rate decrease resulted from longer-term ACMI contracts with higher minimum hours, which lowered the rate per hour.
Current report
Other revenue for the period increased by $1.7 million from $1.5 million in 2025 to $3.3 million in 2026, primarily driven by an increase in fueling and other administrative services provided to the Company's customers.
Current report
Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $0.4 million or 1.9%, from $19.9 million in 2025 to $20.3 million in 2026, primarily due to expanded pilot headcount to support the growing fleet and operations. This increase was partially offset by initiating several actions to reduce headcount and salaries including outsourcing line maintenance at GlobalX’s primary base. Pilots increased from 150 to 165 or 10.0%.
Current report
Maintenance, materials, and repairs decreased by $0.8 million or 14.9%, from $5.4 million to $4.6 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a $1.8 million or $222 per Block Hour decrease in parts and repair expenses. This decrease was partially offset due to outsourcing the Miami line maintenance, increasing expenses by $1.0 million or $127 per Block Hour. The Block Hour rate decreased from $670 per Block Hour in 2025 to $575 per Block Hour in 2026.
Current report
Travel for the period decreased $0.2 million or 8.9%, from $2.3 million to $2.1 million. This decrease was primarily driven by a conscious effort of management to focus on reducing travel expense through the creation of local bases tied to flight activity and contract rate negotiations.
Current report
Operating income decreased $1.9 million, from $3.3 million in 2025 to $1.4 million in 2026. Operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased by 3.1 percentage points from 5.3% in 2025 to 2.2% in 2026. This decrease is driven by the fact that in 2025 our net available aircraft represented 90% of total aircraft compared to 68% in 2026. Said differently, we were paying for aircraft that were not generating revenue because they were not available due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. This was offset by improved utilization; however, to meet all our obligations, there was a steep increase in non-revenue flights, which increased from 142 to 284 hours, adding over $1.0 million to our cost of operations.
Current report
Interest expensefor the period increased $1.1 million, from $2.7 million in 2025 to $3.8 million in 2026, driven by the increase of aircraft under finance leases from 4.0 to 8.0 equivalent aircraft.
Current report
Gain on Settlement: GlobalX recognized a gain on settlement of $1.0 million related to the resolution of an outstanding customer deposit with a broker-customer.

Current report
Maintenance, materials, and repairs increased by $2.3 million or 24.8%, from $9.3 million to 11.6 million. This increase was primarily driven due to outsourcing the Miami line maintenance, increasing expenses by $2.0 million or $125 per Block Hour. In addition, a $0.3 million increase is attributable to parts and repair expenses. The Block Hour rate increased from $608 per Block Hour in 2025 to $712 per Block Hour in 2026.
Current report
Travel for the period decreased $0.2 million, or 3.1% from $5.3 million to $5.1 million. This decrease was primarily driven by a conscious effort of management to focus on reducing travel expense through the creation of local bases tied to flight activity and contract rate negotiations.
Current report
Non-operating Expenses
Current report

Previous 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.
Previous 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.
Previous report
Interest expense increased $0.7 million from $2.6 million to $3.3 million driven by the increase of aircraft on finance lease from 3.7 to 6.7 equivalent aircraft, and the financed purchase of one aircraft.

Previous wording
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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, GlobalX's Block Hours operated decreased 34.9% compared to the same period in 2025. The cargo charter market continues to be soft due to general economic conditions and excess capacity in the North American freight market. This decreased activity level demonstrates that the cargo charter market continues to be a significant drag on earnings, primarily due to the low rates offered by brokers and customers and the relatively low utilization rates on a per-aircraft basis relative to the rates offered.

Previous wording
Unlike the cargo charter market, the passenger charter market continues to demonstrate strong demand and has served as the economic engine for GlobalX during the three months ended March 31, 2026. There are several macro factors, including the supply of aircraft, reduced direct competition, increased reliance on air charter by college sports teams and general increased customer demand, which are driving increased demand for our services. GlobalX anticipates the high level of demand will continue throughout 2026. To address this demand, the Company has prioritized the passenger charter market over the cargo charter market, devoted sales and operational resources to develop long-term relationships with key customers and looked to expand the markets served as opportunities arise.

Critical to GlobalX’s business model is maintaining a fleet of modern and cost-effective aircraft. To achieve this objective, GlobalX has selected what it believes to be the best overall single-aisle aircraft family to operate. This approach differs from that of traditional airlines, which purchase a variety of aircraft, often from different manufacturers, to achieve their operational flight sectors, resulting in increased training, operating and maintenance 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 after such research GlobalX selected the A320 aircraft family.

The analysis of GlobalX results for the three month period ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 requires an understanding of how the Company fundamentally evolved during that time period. 2025 was our fourth year of full operations and was a period where the Company was focused on securing additional customers, entering additional markets and flying to new locations, primarily in the domestic and Caribbean markets and within the European market. As a growing company, we were also focused on operating effectively and efficiently.

Previous wording
In 2025, GlobalX continued expanding existing governmental agency relationships, acquired new partners, secured long-term cargo contracts, expanded operations in the European ACMI market and continued its operations with existing airlines. 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, and cost per available seat mile, 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; therefore, our results are evaluated on a Block Hour and Utilization basis.

Previous wording
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 wording
Aircraft fuel increased by $1.0 million or 34.2% from $3.0 million to $4.0 million. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.5 million increase in the price of base jet fuel. The increase was partially offset by $0.5 million decrease in the amount of Charter and Non-Revenue Block Hours.
Previous 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.
Current wording
Depreciation and amortization increased by $3.0 million or 113.8%, from $2.6 million in 2025 to $5.6 million in 2026, primarily driven by aircraft deliveries secured on finance leases, the purchase of an A320 aircraft, and an increase in rotable parts owned.
Previous wording
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 wording
Contracted ground and aviation services expenses increased by $0.4 million or 9.9%, from $4.5 million in 2025 to $4.9 million in 2026. This was primarily driven by an increased rate since contracted ground and aviation services are not associated with ACMI services.
Previous 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.
Current wording

Previous 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.
Current wording
Charter revenue for the period increased $2.6 million or 5.6%, from $45.8 million in 2025 to $48.4 million in 2026.

This increase was partially offset by a 20.6% decrease in Charter Block Hours, from 3,400 Block Hours in 2025 to 2,698 Block Hours in 2026, which resulted in a $9.6 million decrease in revenue. The increase in the per-Block-Hour rate was primarily driven by high market demand, higher fuel prices, 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 $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.
Current wording
ACMI revenue for the period increased by $5.4 million or 6.9% from $78.9 million in 2025 to $84.3 million in 2026. This increase was driven by an increase in Block Hours from 11,860 in 2025 to 13,113 in 2026, an increase of 10.6% or 1,253 Block Hours resulting in a $8.3 million increase in revenue. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the rate for ACMI flying of 3.0% from $6,648 per Block Hour in 2025 to $6,427 per Block Hour in 2026 resulting in a $2.9 million decrease in revenue. The primary driver for the Block Hour increase was related to both high market demand and a shortage of supply.

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 wording
Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $2.4 million or 6.1%, from $38.7 million in 2025 to $41.1 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. This increase was partially offset by initiating several actions to reduce headcount and salaries including outsourcing line maintenance at GlobalX’s primary base. Pilots increased from 150 to 165 or 10.0%.

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.

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.

Previous wording
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.

Aircraft fuel increased by $1.5 million or 13.9% from $10.4 million to $11.9 million. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.5 million increase in the price of base jet fuel. The increase was partially offset by $0.5 million decrease in the amount of Charter and Non-Revenue Block Hours.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Depreciation and amortization increased by $5.4 million or 110.9%, from $4.9 million in 2025 to $10.2 million in 2026, primarily driven by aircraft deliveries secured on finance leases, the purchase of an A320 aircraft, and an increase in rotable parts owned.

Contracted ground and aviation services expenses increased by $1.4 million or 12.9%, from $10.8 million in 2025 to $12.2 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 — wording carried from elsewhere
Aircraft rent decreased $3.3 million or 11.3%, from $29.2 million in 2025 to $25.9 million in 2026, primarily driven by a decrease in base rent expenses of $2.5 million or 16.7% due to the decrease in the average number of aircraft on operating leases from 14.8 to 13.1 aircraft in the fleet. Adding to the savings, was a $0.9 million decrease in the number of sub-service hours required. Offsetting the savings was an increase in supplemental rent expenses of $0.2 million or 1.6% from $12.6 million in 2025 to $12.8 million in 2026 driven by a year-over-year increase in Block Hours on leased aircraft.
