Current SEC Form 10Q filing

An excerpt:

We derive nearly all of our operating revenue from the United capacity purchase agreement because United is currently Air Wisconsin’s sole airline partner. United accounted for approximately 99.9% of our operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The termination or non-renewal of the United capacity purchase agreement would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The United capacity purchase agreement expires in February 2023, unless United elects to exercise its option to extend the agreement for an additional period of no less than two years, but up to three years, in its discretion, in which case it expires between February 2025 and February 2026, unless United elects to exercise its second option to extend the agreement for a second additional two-year period, subject to mutual agreement on certain economic terms, in which case it expires between February 2027 and February 2028. United is also permitted, subject to certain conditions, including giving notice of 60 days or more, to terminate the agreement early in the event of Air Wisconsin’s material breach of the agreement, subject to Air Wisconsin’s right to cure. The United capacity purchase agreement is also subject to termination prior to expiration in various circumstances, including if Air Wisconsin’s controllable flight completion factor or departure performance falls below certain pre-determined levels, and in the event of a non-carrier-specific grounding of at least a specified number of Air Wisconsin’s aircraft, in each case for a specified period of time. Disputes between United and Air Wisconsin have arisen under the United capacity purchase agreement in the past and, while the prior disputes have been resolved, it is possible that new disputes may arise in the future. New disputes or disagreements with United could result in Air Wisconsin incurring negotiation or resolution costs or entering into litigation or other proceedings. Even if resolved in Air Wisconsin’s favor, the existence of a dispute could harm Air Wisconsin’s relationship with United. We cannot predict the outcome of a future dispute or disagreement with United.

Air Wisconsin currently uses the systems, facilities and services of United to support a significant portion of its operations, including airport and terminal facilities and operations, information technology interface, ticketing and reservations, scheduling, dispatching interface, fuel purchasing and ground handling services. If United were to cease to maintain any of these systems, close any of these facilities, or no longer provide these services to Air Wisconsin, whether due to termination of the United capacity purchase agreement, a strike or other labor interruption by United personnel, bankruptcy or other financial hardship experienced by United, or for any other reason, Air Wisconsin may not be able to obtain access to alternative systems, facilities or services on terms and conditions as favorable as those it currently receives, or at all. Upon certain termination events described in the United capacity purchase agreement, United could require Air Wisconsin to sell or assign to United certain facilities and assets that Air Wisconsin uses in connection with the services it provides. As a result, in order to offer airline service after termination of the United capacity purchase agreement, Air Wisconsin may have to replace these facilities, assets and services. Air Wisconsin may be unable to arrange such replacements on satisfactory terms, or at all.

If the United capacity purchase agreement were to be terminated or not renewed, our business would be significantly impacted, and it is unlikely we would have an immediate source of revenue or earnings to offset the financial impact. United is not under any obligation to extend or renew the United capacity purchase agreement with Air Wisconsin, whether on similar terms or at all.
