Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors, set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel could have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
Aircraft fuel is critical to our operations. The timely and adequate supply of fuel to meet operational demand depends on the continued availability of reliable fuel supply sources as well as related service and delivery infrastructure. We depend significantly on the continued performance of our vendors and service providers to maintain supply integrity. To the extent our vendors and service providers are not able to maintain fuel supply integrity, such disruption to our aircraft fuel supply could have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
Additionally, the market price of fuel has historically fluctuated substantially and continues to be volatile due to a multitude of unpredictable factors, including global crude oil prices, fuel supply and demand, geopolitical conflicts and instability, natural disasters, and fuel production and transportation infrastructure, as well as other, indirect factors. Changes in any of these factors could drive rapid, significant changes in fuel prices in short periods of time. For example, we are currently experiencing increased fuel prices due to the ongoing conflict with Iran. Although we are able to recoup fuel costs from our customers through the majority of our contracts, we may experience delays from the time the costs are incurred and the period in which we are able to assess such costs to our customers. Additionally, we may be unable to increase our rates enough to fully offset the impact of increases in fuel prices on certain contracts and in markets such as our regular passenger transport business in Australia, especially if such price increases were to sustain for a prolonged period. Therefore, any increase in our rates to offset increased fuel prices may take several months to implement, may not be sustainable, may reduce general demand for our services and may also eventually impact our operations, strategic growth and investment plans for the future.
