Long-Term Debt

On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Framework Agreement with a bank syndicate which provides up to $379 million of debt financing for seven Airbus A320 aircraft and three Airbus A321 aircraft. Each loan extended under the Framework Agreement is funded on or about the delivery date of each aircraft and is secured by a first-priority security interest on the individual aircraft. Each loan amortizes quarterly on a mortgage-style basis, with senior loans having a 12-year term and junior loans having a 7-year term. Loans bear interest payable quarterly on a floating or fixed rate basis, at the Company's option. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has taken delivery of seven Airbus A320 aircraft financed through the Framework Agreement and recorded fixed-rate debt of $259 million. The remaining three Airbus A321 aircraft are scheduled for delivery under the Company's existing purchase agreement with Airbus between July 2015 and September 2015.

On February 24, 2015, the Company entered into two Facility Agreements, which will provide up to $185 million of debt financing for five Airbus A320 aircraft. Each loan extended under the Facility Agreements is funded on or about the delivery date of each aircraft and is secured by a first-priority security interest on the individual aircraft. Each loan amortizes quarterly on a mortgage-style basis, with senior loans having a 12-year term and junior loans having a 7-year term. Loans bear interest payable quarterly on a floating or fixed rate basis, at the Company's option. As of March 31, 2015, the Company took delivery of two Airbus A320 aircraft financed through the Facility Agreements and recorded fixed-rate debt of $74 million. The remaining three Airbus A320 aircraft under the Company's existing Facility Agreements are scheduled for delivery between April 2015 and June 2015.
