Long-term debt

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding non-public and public debt instruments. During 2019, the Company acquired additional debt through fixed-rate term loans and a previously existing revolving credit facility described below.

Fixed-rate term loans

During 2019, the Company acquired additional debt under facility agreements, which as of December 31, 2019 provided $152.0 million of debt financing for 4 Airbus A320 aircraft delivered during 2019. Each loan extended under the facility
agreements was funded on or near the delivery date of each aircraft and is secured by a first-priority security interest on the individual aircraft. Each loan has a term life of 11 to 12 years and amortizes on a mortgage-style basis, which requires quarterly principal and interest payments. Loans bear interest on a fixed-rate basis with interest rates ranging between 2.85% and 3.93%. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has taken delivery of all 4 Airbus A320 aircraft financed through these facility agreements.

Revolving credit facility

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility for up to $160 million secured by the collateral assignment of certain of the Company's rights under the purchase agreement with Airbus. As of December 31, 2019, collateralized amounts were related to 34 Airbus A320neo aircraft scheduled to be delivered between January 2020 and December 2021. The final maturity of the facility is December 30, 2020 with final payment due in January 2021. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had drawn $160.0 million on the facility of which $50.0 million is included in current maturities of long-term debt and finance leases and $110.0 million is included within long-term debt and finance leases, less current maturities on the Company's balance sheets. The revolving credit facility bears variable interest based on LIBOR.
