Executive Summary
Premier Air Charter defaulted on two aircraft leases, leading to lease termination, repossession of both CJ3 aircraft, and a ~$514,557 accelerated obligation. The company is laying off 5 pilots (12% of workforce) and its Chairman resigned. The combination of fleet loss, liability acceleration, workforce reduction, and board departure signals severe operational and financial distress.
