Independence and Xjet had similar problems. Too many planes and related assets and not enough flying without the CPA. In other words just not enough flying to support the debt. That isn’t the same case at Via. Via’s growing organically to fill demand. It went from 30 seat turboprops doing scheduled 135, to 50 seat jets under 121. As it continues to grow so will the fleet size and fleet type. Getting in at the ground floor of a place being run better than most is a good thing.
