Approximately $717 million of the Company's total variable-rate notes payable are effectively fixed via interest rate swaps at December 31, 2019, bringing the weighted-average interest rate for the full debt portfolio to 3%.

During 2019, the Company's total debt decreased $604 million, primarily due to payments of $1.1 billion, including the prepayment of $779 million of debt. These reductions in debt were offset by the addition of secured debt financing from multiple lenders of $450 million. All outstanding debt is secured by aircraft.

The Company's variable-rate debt bears interest at a floating rate per annum equal to a margin plus the three or six-month LIBOR in effect at the commencement of each three or six-month period, as applicable. As of December 31, 2019, none of the Company's borrowings were restricted by financial covenants.

Bank Line of Credit
 
The Company has three credit facilities with availability totaling $516 million. All three facilities have variable interest rates based on LIBOR plus a specified margin. One credit facility for $250 million expires in June 2021 and is secured by aircraft. A second credit facility for $116 million expires in July 2020, with a mechanism for annual renewal, and is secured by aircraft. A third credit facility for $150 million expires in March 2022 and is secured by certain accounts receivable, spare engines, spare parts and ground service equipment. The Company has secured letters of credit against the $116 million facility, but has no plans to borrow using either of the two other facilities. All three credit facilities have a requirement to maintain a minimum unrestricted cash and marketable securities balance of $500 million. The Company was in compliance with this covenant at December 31, 2019.
