Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
DEBT DEBT
Credit Facilities
On February 10, 2021, the Company executed a five-year credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a $25,000 Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $90,000 Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (“DDTL”), which are collectively referred to as the
“Credit Facilities.” The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes, whereas the proceeds from the DDTL were to be used solely to finance the acquisition of aircraft or engines to be registered in the United States. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that require a minimum trailing 12-month EBITDAR ($87,700 as of March 31, 2022 and beyond) and minimum liquidity of $30,000 at the close of any business day. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2023.
During 2021, the Company drew $80,500 on the DDTL to purchase six aircraft, which were previously under operating leases. During 2022, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the DDTL in full using proceeds received from the 2022-1 EETC, which terminated the DDTL. As a result, no amounts under the DDTL were available to the Company as of March 31, 2023. The Company recorded a $1,557 loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022 in connection with the repayment of the DDTL, which represents the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $24,650 of financing available through the Revolving Credit Facility, as $350 had been pledged to support a letter of credit.
Long-term Debt
Term Loan Credit Facility
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company executed a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 for the purpose of financing the five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The loan is to be repaid monthly over 7 years. During the lease term, payments collected from the lessee will be applied directly to the repayment of principal and interest on the term loan credit facility. The Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, as well as the related lease payments received from the lessee, are pledged as collateral. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received gross proceeds of $71,280 with respect to three of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. An incremental $47,920 of gross proceeds were received subsequent to March 31, 2023 upon the completion of the transaction resulting in the acquisition of two additional Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $1,388 in debt issuance costs associated with the term loan credit facility.
The interest rate on the term loan credit facility is determined by using a base rate, which resets monthly, plus an applicable margin, and a fixed credit spread adjustment of 0.1%. The applicable margin during the lease term is fixed at 3.75%, and is subsequently reduced to 3.25% once the aircraft have been redelivered to the Company at the end of the lease term and a Loan-to-Value ("LTV") ratio calculation is completed. The interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2023 on the term loan was 8.6%. To the extent that the LTV exceeds 75%, a principal prepayment will be required in order to reduce the ratio to 75%. Amounts received under the end of lease maintenance compensation clause may be applied towards the LTV payment.

In March 2022, the Company arranged for the issuance of the 2022-1 EETC in an aggregate face amount of $188,277 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft.
In December 2019, the Company arranged for the issuance of Class A, Class B and Class C trust certificates Series 2019-1 (the “2019-1 EETC”), in an aggregate face amount of $248,587 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 used aircraft, which was completed in 2020.
