[1]Equity interests issued and outstanding for periods prior to the date of the Merger have not been retroactively restated to give effect to the reverse recapitalization. Prior to the closing of the Merger (as defined in Note 3, “Merger”), the legal structure of LGM was a limited liability company with ownership interests consisting of members’ units. Application of an exchange ratio of members’ units for shares of common stock for periods prior to the Merger would not be representative of the capital structure of the Company after the Merger. See Note 3, “Merger,” for further discussion. |

[1]Basic and diluted earnings per share has not been presented for any period in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As a result of the Merger (as defined in Note 3, “Merger”), the Company’s capital structure was significantly altered. The Company determined that presenting earnings per share for periods prior to the Merger and for the five-day period from the Closing Date to December 31, 2023 would not result in values meaningful to the users of the consolidated financial statements.

Organization and Operations | 1. Organization and Operations Nature of the Business flyExclusive, Inc. is a holding company that has no material assets other than its ownership in LGM Enterprises, LLC (“LGM”), and flyExclusive, Inc. operates and controls all of the businesses and operations of LGM and LGM’s subsidiaries. flyExclusive Inc. and its predecessor for accounting purposes, LGM, are collectively referred to herein as (“flyExclusive” or the “Company”). LGM is a premier owner, operator of jet aircraft and aircraft sales, with a focus on private jet charter. The Company’s businesses provide separate offerings such as wholesale and retail ad hoc flights, a jet club program, partnership program, fractional program, and other services as well. The Company provides private jet charter services primarily in North America. On February 28 , 2020 , the Company acquired Sky Night, LLC (“Sky Night”), in order to develop its international presence. As part of its plan to become a full-service private aviation company, in 2021 , the Company launched its maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations (“MRO”), offering maintenance, interior and exterior refurbishment to third parties in addition to maintaining its own fleet. On December 27 , 2023 (the “Closing Date”), EG Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“EGA”), and LGM, a North Carolina limited liability company (“LGM”), consummated a business combination (the “Merger”, see Note 3 , “Merger”) pursuant to the equity purchase agreement dated October 17 , 2022 and subsequent amendment to the equity purchase agreement dated April 21 , 2023 , collectively, (the “Equity Purchase Agreement” or “EPA”). In connection with the closing of the Merger, EGA changed its name to flyExclusive, Inc. The common stock of flyExclusive (“flyExclusive Common Stock” or the “Company’s Common Stock”) and the public warrants of flyExclusive (the “Public Warrants”) commenced trading on The NYSE American LLC under the symbol “FLYX” and “FLYX WS”, respectively, on December 28 , 2023 . Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of flyExclusive, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, all majority owned subsidiaries where the ownership is more than 50 % and the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which flyExclusive or one of its subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary, regardless of the ownership percentage. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Where the Company’s ownership interest is less than 100 %, the non-redeemable 480-10-S99-3(A)(2). Liquidity and Going Concern Within the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred net losses and has operated with a working capital deficit To As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11,626. On January 26, 2024, subsequent to the reporting date, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Senior Secured Note (the “Note”) to support its fractional aircraft ownership program. The Note allows for borrowings of an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $25,773, with up to $25,000 earmarked specifically to finance the acquisition or refinancing of aircraft under this program. Additionally, on March 4, 2024, subsequent to the reporting date, the company raised an additional $25,000 in the form of Series A Preferred Stock. On March 9, 2024, subsequent to the reporting date, the Company entered into an amendment to the LOC Master Note to extend the maturity date to September 9, 2025. See Note 24, “Subsequent Events,” for further information. The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents on hand, operating cash flows, and proceeds from possible financings, if any, will be sufficient to fund operations, including capital expenditure requirements, for at least 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements. However, the Company might need additional capital to fund growth plans or as circumstances change, which it could obtain through equity issuances, refinancing existing debt or new borrowings. Adequate capital may not be available to the Company when needed or on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to raise capital, it could be forced to delay, reduce, suspend or cease its working capital requirements, capital expenditures and business development efforts, which would have a negative impact on its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Reclassification Certain amounts presented in the Company’s previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the consolidated balance sheets, the Company has made a reclassification within the current assets and the operating assets remain unchanged from the previously issued balance sheet as of December 31 , 2022 . Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Subjective and significant estimates include, but are not limited to, determinations of the useful lives and expected future cash flows of long-lived assets, including intangibles, estimates of allowances for uncollectible accounts, determination of impairment and fair value estimates associated with asset acquisitions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period that they are determined. Segment Information The Company determined its operating segment after considering the Company’s organizational structure and the information regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has determined that its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews the financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. On the basis of these factors, the Company determined that it operates and manages its business as one operating segment, charter aviation services. All ancillary and other revenue sources such as fractional ownership and MRO services are primarily to support the provision of the Company’s charter services to customers. Substantially all the Company’s long-lived assets are held in the United States, and revenue from charter aviation charter services is substantially earned from flights throughout the United States. Public Warrants and Private Warrants Upon the closing of the Merger, the Company assumed (i) the Public Warrants initially included in the EGA units issued in EGA’s initial public offering, and (ii) the warrants of EGA held by EG Sponsor LLC (the “EGA Sponsor”) that were issued to the EGA Sponsor at the closing of EGA’s initial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants,” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Company determines the accounting classification of Warrants as either liability or equity by first assessing whether the Warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). Under ASC 480, a financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares must be classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on any one of the following: (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception; (b) variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; or (c) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares. The Company determined that the Warrants should not be classified as liabilities under ASC 480. If financial instruments, such as the Warrants, are not required to be classified as liabilities under ASC 480, the Company assesses whether such instruments are indexed to the Company’s own stock under ASC 815-40. liabilities. The Company also determined that the Warrants met all criteria to meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83. The Company recorded the Warrants as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) at each reporting date. Fair Value Measurement Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The Company’s cash equivalents and investments in securities are carried at fair value in Level 1 or Level 2, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 4 Fair Value Measurements). The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, other receivables, parts and supplies inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s Bridge Notes (as defined in Note 15, “Debt”) contained an embedded derivative feature that was required to be bifurcated and remeasured to fair value at each reporting period based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and was classified as a Level 3 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The carrying amount of the Company’s Bridge Notes approximated its fair value as the interest rates of the Bridge Notes are based on prevailing market rates. The Bridge Notes were converted into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the Closing Date causing the derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets to be removed as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The closing price of the Public Warrants is used as the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants as of each relevant reporting date. The fair value of the Public Warrants is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The fair value of the Private Warrants is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement due to the use of an observable market quote for the Public Warrants, which are considered to be a similar asset in an active market. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with multiple high credit quality U.S. financial institutions. At various times throughout the period, the Company’s cash deposits with any one financial institution may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company has not experienced any losses of such amounts and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents. Customer Concentration The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral. During the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , one customer accounted for $ 67,985 and $ 125,360 , respectively, of net sales, which represents 22 % and 39 % of total revenue, respectively. As of December 31 , 2023 , one customer accounted for $ 341 of accounts receivable. This represented approximately 12 % of accounts receivable as of December 31 , 2023 . As of December 31 , 2022 , one customer accounted for $ 8,682 of accounts receivable. This represented approximately 91 % of accounts receivable as of December 31 , 2022 . During the year ended December 31 , 2023 , one vendor accounted for $ 60,909 of cost of revenue, which represents 23 % of total cost of revenue. During the year ended December 31 , 2022 , one vendor accounted for $ 39,656 of cost of revenue, which represents 16 % of total cost of revenue. There were no vendors accounting for greater than 10 % of total accounts payable as of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 . Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash consists of bank deposits. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. As of December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , cash equivalents consisted of government money market funds. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value. Receivables, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced or earned amount billed to the customers and are reported as net of an allowance for credit losses. Prior to adopting Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 , Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC Topic 326 ”), as set forth in “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” below, the Company applied an incurred loss estimate to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts. Under ASC Topic 326 , the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses and considers the level of past-due 80 and $ 82 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Notes receivables are recorded at amortized cost, and are reported as net of an allowance for credit losses. Under ASC Topic 326, the 2,558 and zero as of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , respectively. Parts and Supplies Inventory Inventories are used in operations and are generally held for internal use. Inventories are comprised of spare aircraft parts, materials and supplies, which are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out Investments in securities Investments in securities consist of fixed-income securities including corporate bonds, government bonds, municipal issues and U.S. treasury bills that are classified as available-for-sale , Investments—Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC Topic 320 ”). The Company classifies investments available to fund current operations as current assets on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates ASC Topic 326 eliminated the concept of other-than-temporary impairment for securities. For securities AFS in an unrealized loss position, the Company determines whether they intend to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the new standard requires the security’s amortized cost basis to be written down to fair value through income with an allowance being established under ASC Topic 326 . For securities AFS with unrealized losses not meeting these criteria, the Company evaluates whether any decline in fair value is due to credit loss factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent of the unrealized loss, any changes to the rating of the security by rating agencies and adverse conditions specifically related to the issuer of the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, impairment related to credit-related factors must be recognized as an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Impairment related to non-credit As of December 31 , 2023 and at adoption of ASC Topic 326 on January 1 , 2023 , there was no ACL related to debt securities AFS. Accrued interest receivable on debt securities was excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Realized losses on investment securities were $ 238 and $ 400 for the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. There were 13 and 24 debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. The fair value of these debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $4,263 and $7,236, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total fair value of debt securities in an unrealized loss position greater than one year was $2,759 and $1,765, which the total unrealized losses of these investments were $395 and $98, respectively. The Company determined that the decline in the market value of these securities was primarily attributable to current economic conditions. Prepaid Engine Overhaul The Company has entered into Engine Overhaul Programs for certain aircraft to cover major maintenance costs at specified intervals primarily relating to engine hours. Such engine overhauls are not considered to be routine maintenance, rather capital expenditures that extend the useful life of the underlying engine. The Company has elected the Built-in Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Estimated Useful Life Transportation equipment 5-20 years Office furniture and equipment 3-10 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of remaining lease term or useful life Leases In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, ”), the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date, when control of the underlying asset is transferred from the lessor to the lessee, as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use The Company enters into contracts that contain both lease and non-lease non-lease typically variable and excluded from the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of the lease based on the effective rates at lease commencement. Subsequent changes in the rates or indices do not impact the right of use asset or lease liability and are recognized as a component of variable lease cost in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease if readily determinable. If the rate implicit is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate based upon the available information at the lease commencement date. ROU assets are further adjusted for items such as initial direct costs, prepaid rent, or lease incentives. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method over the lease term. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Asset Acquisition The Company applies a screen test to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. When an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination because either: (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or group of similar identified assets, or (ii) the acquired entity does not have an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, the Company accounts for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. If determined to be an asset acquisition, the Company accounts for the transaction under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires the acquiring entity in an asset acquisition to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the cost to the acquiring entity on a relative fair value basis, which includes transaction costs in addition to consideration given. No gain or loss is recognized as of the date of acquisition unless the fair value of non-cash non-cash Intangible Assets The Company’s identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of software and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) certificates. These intangible assets arise primarily from the determination of their respective fair market values at the date of acquisition. Amounts assigned to identifiable intangible assets, and their related useful lives, are derived from established valuation techniques and management estimates. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis, which the Company believes approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized, over their estimated useful lives. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets with determinable useful lives whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted net future cash flows to the related asset’s carrying value. If impairment exists, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. There no impairment losses for the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 . Debt Issuance Costs and debt discounts The Company borrows from various lenders to finance its growth and operations. Costs incurred in connection with financings, such as loan origination fees, investment banking fees and legal fees are classified as debt discounts if paid to the lenders and are classified as debt issuance costs if paid to the third parties. Debt discounts related to bifurcated derivatives, fees paid to the lenders and debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the related borrowing and are amortized over the expected life of the related financing agreements using the effective interest rate method as a component of interest expense. See Note 15 , “Debt,” for additional disclosures. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815 , Derivatives and Hedging. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued The Company’s Bridge Notes (as defined in Note 15 , “Debt”) contained a conversion feature which met the definition of a derivative instrument. The Company classified the instrument as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets. The derivative liability was initially recorded at fair value upon issuance of the Bridge Notes and was subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability were recognized as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s Bridge Notes were converted into 9,550,274 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock upon the closing of the Merger (see Note 3 , “Merger,” and Note 15 , “Debt”). The derivative liability was remeasured as of the Closing Date of the Merger, with the change in fair value recorded within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Upon conversion, a gain on extinguishment was recorded within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on the fair value of the derivative liability and the derivative liability was removed from the consolidated balance sheets. Noncontrolling interest Noncontrolling interests represent ownership interests attributable to third parties in certain consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) / members’ equity (deficit) and temporary equity attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest In connection with the Merger, see Note 3 , “Merger,” the former holders (the “Existing Equityholders”) of units of ownership interest in LGM (the “LGM Common Units”) retained post-Merger ownership interests in LGM as noncontrolling interests. Pursuant to the Amendment and Restated Operating Agreement, dated December 27 , 2023 (the “Operating Agreement”), upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Existing Equityholders may redeem all or a portion of their LGM Common Units for either (a) shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“flyExclusive Class A Common Stock” or the “Class A Common Stock”) or b) an equivalent amount of cash as determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement. While the Company determines whether redemption settlement is for cash or shares, settlement is not considered within the sole control of the Company as the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock (“flyExclusive Class B Common Stock” or the “Class B Common Stock) will designate a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). Since redemption for cash is not considered within the sole control of the Company, the noncontrolling interest is classified as temporary equity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3(A)(2). For periods when the noncontrolling interest is probable of becoming redeemable (but is not currently redeemable), the Company will accrete changes in its redemption value from the date it becomes probable that it will become redeemable (the Closing Date) to its earliest redemption date (first anniversary of the Closing Date). This measurement method is in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3(A)15a. the initial carrying value, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss, or (2) the redemption value. The Company is required to either (1) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using an appropriate methodology, usually the interest method, or (2) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (the Closing Date) to the earliest redemption date (the one year anniversary of the Closing Date) using the interest method. Any change in the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest will be recorded against additional paid-in Deferred Revenue The Company manages Jet Club Memberships, Guaranteed Fleet, MRO, and Fractional Ownership programs. These programs require deposits for future flight services. Consideration received in excess of revenue earned results in deferred revenue and is recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 14 , “Other Non-Current , “Revenue,” below for additional disclosures regarding deferred revenue related to these programs. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when the promised services are performed and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services using the following steps: 1) identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer, 2) identification of performance obligations in the contract, 3) determination of the transaction price, 4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. Determining the transaction price may require significant judgment and is determined based on the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring services to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company earned revenue primarily from the programs below: Jet Club Membership Jet Club members are guaranteed access to the Company’s fleet of light, midsize and super-midsize aircraft in exchange for membership fees. New members pay a deposit, up to a maximum of $ 500 , depending on their level of membership. Membership levels determine the daily rate a member is charged for future flights. Incidental fees are also applied against members’ accounts. The initial and any subsequent deposits are non-refundable Guaranteed Revenue Program The Company launched a guaranteed revenue program with a single customer on November 1 , 2021 . Under this program, the Company serves as an on-demand 28 months, which includes a drawdown period of 10 months if the agreement is terminated. The agreement will continue indefinitely unless terminated by either party. The Company requires a deposit of $ 1,250 per reserved aircraft. These deposits are included within Other non-current right-to-invoice , “Commitments and Contingencies,” below, the Company has recognized the remaining deposits as revenue during the year ended December 31 , 2023 , and therefore, the Guaranteed Revenue Program deposits balance was zero as of December 31 , 2023 . See Note 14 , “Other Non-Current Fractional Ownership The fractional revenue stream involves a customer purchasing a fractional ownership interest in an aircraft for a contractual term of up to 5 years. Customers have the right to flight and membership services from a fleet of aircraft, including the aircraft they have fractionally purchased. Customers are charged for flight services as incurred based on agreed upon daily and hourly rates in addition to the upfront fractional ownership purchase price. At the end of the contractual term, the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase the fractional interest. In certain contracts the customer can require the Company to repurchase their ownership interest after a fixed period of time but prior to the contractual termination date of the contract. The repurchase price, whether at the contractual termination date or at the specified earlier date, is calculated as follows: 1) the fair market value of the aircraft at the time of repurchase, 2) multiplied by the fractional ownership percentage, 3) less a remarketing fee. At the time of repurchase, all fractional ownership interests revert to the Company, and all rights to flight and membership services are relinquished. The Company assessed whether these repurchase agreements result in a lease contract under the scope of ASC 842 but determined that they are revenue contracts under the scope of ASC 606 since the repurchase price is lower than the original selling price, and the customer does not have a significant economic incentive to exercise the put option. Further, the fractional ownership sales are accounted for as containing a right of return and the resulting liability is included within Other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The consideration from the fractional ownership interest, as adjusted for any related customer right of return, is included in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets and recognized over the term of the contract on a straight-line basis as the membership services are provided. Variable consideration generated from flight services is recognized in the period of performance. Maintenance Repair and Overhaul The Company separately provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services for aircraft owners and operators at certain facilities. MRO ground services are comprised of a single performance obligation for aircraft maintenance services such as modifications, repairs and inspections. MRO revenue is recognized over time based on the cost of parts and supplies inventory consumed and labor hours worked for each service provided. Any billing for MRO services that exceeds revenue earned to date is included in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft Sales The Company occasionally sells aircraft from its fleet. The gain or loss from each transaction is recognized upon completion of the sale as Gain on sale of property and equipment within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded gains of $ and $ on aircraft sold, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation In connection with the Merger, the Board approved the flyExclusive, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, on November 10 , 2023 (the “Incentive Plan Effective Date”), at which time the plan became effective, subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months. The plan was subsequently approved by the stockholders on December 18 , 2023 . The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other rights or benefits to employees, directors and consultants. In connection with the Merger, the Board approved the flyExclusive, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), on November 10 , 2023 (the “ESPP Effective Date”), at which time the plan became effective, subject to stockholder approval. The plan was subsequently approved by the stockholders on December 18 , 2023 . The ESPP provides eligible employees with a means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for future employee purchases under the ESPP is 1,500,000 shares. The ESPP will expire on October 31 , 2033 , unless sooner terminated by the Board, or when all available shares have been purchased.

Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreements, the Warrant Holders agreed to exchange a total of 1,694,456 EGA Public Warrants for 372,780 shares of flyExclusive Class A Common Stock. On the Closing Date, 433,332 of these EGA Public Warrants were exchanged for 95,333 shares of flyExclusive Class A Common Stock. On the Closing Date, the remaining issued and outstanding EGA Public Warrants after the exchange of these 433,332 EGA Public Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreements, which totaled 7,066,668 EGA Public Warrants, each became a warrant to purchase one share of flyExclusive Class A Common Stock. • Each Private Placement Warrant to purchase one share of EGA Class A common stock held by the EGA Sponsor on the Closing Date, which totaled 4,333,333 Private Placement Warrants, became a warrant to purchase one share of flyExclusive Class A Common Stock. • On December 26 , 2023 , the underwriter in EGA’s initial public offering, purchased 75,000 shares of EGA Class A common stock on behalf of LGM. The shares were purchased by the underwriter from a public stockholder that elected to reverse its redemption of 75,000 shares of EGA Class A common stock. The shares were purchased for a total purchase price of $ 818 ($ 10.90 per share) and the underwriter received reimbursement of $ 800 of the purchase price from EGA’s Trust Account on December 27 , 2023 . Simultaneously with the closing of the merger between EGA and LGM on December 27 , 2023 (the “Closing”), the 75,000 shares of EGA Class A common stock were automatically exchanged for shares of flyExclusive, Inc. Class A Common Stock and 73,600 shares (out of the above-mentioned 75,000 shares) were granted to employees of LGM as compensation for services provided (the grant date for the 73,600 shares was determined to be December 27 , 2023) . • In connection with the Merger, EGA, LGM and Mr. Segrave, Jr. entered into an agreement (the “Non-Redemption • The outstanding principal balance under the Bridge Notes (as defined in Note 15, “Debt”), which, including additions to the principal balance as a result of the accumulation of paid in kind interest was $ 95,503 immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, was automatically converted into 9,550,274 shares of flyExclusive Class A Common Stock. The proceeds received by the Company from the Merger, net of transaction costs, totaled $ 8,350 . The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, EGA was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes, whereas LGM was treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of LGM issuing shares for the net assets of EGA, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of EGA were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and operations prior to the Merger are those of LGM. As a result of the Merger, the Company is organized in an umbrella partnership corporation (“Up-C”) interests in LGM.

Fair Value Measurements | 4. Fair Value Measurements The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value: (in thousands) Fair Value Measurements at , 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ 887 $ — $ — $ 887 Short-term investments 849 70,381 — 71,230 $ 1,736 $ 70,381 $ — $ 72,117 Liabilities: Warrant liability - public warrants $ 1,555 $ — $ — $ 1,555 Warrant liability - private placement warrants — 953 — 953 $ 1,555 $ 953 $ — $ 2,508 (in thousands) Fair Value Measurements at , 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ 515 $ — $ — $ 515 Short-term investments — 69,448 — 69,448 $ 515 $ 69,448 $ — $ 69,963 Liabilities: Derivative liability $ — $ — $ 971 $ 971 $ — $ — $ 971 $ 971 The fair values of government money market funds have been measured on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs, which are based on unadjusted quoted market prices within active markets. The short-term investments, including investments in fixed income securities, have been measured using quoted pricing on active markets for Level 1 investments and inputs based on alternative pricing sources and models utilizing observable market inputs for Level 2 investments. The fair value of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is classified as Level 2 due to the use of an observable market quote for the Public Warrants, which are considered to be a similar asset in an active market. The warrant liability is calculated by multiplying the quoted market price of the Company’s Public Warrants by the total number of Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants. The Company’s Level 3 liability historically consisted of an embedded derivative liability associated with the Company’s Bridge Notes (as defined in Note 15, “Debt”). On October 17, 2022, the closing date of the Bridge Notes, the Company recorded the fair value of the embedded derivative liability associated with the Bridge Notes. The embedded derivative liability was subject to remeasurement at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as a compo nent of other income (expense), net . The fair value of the derivative liability was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation (“MCS”) analysis, which uses Level 3 inputs. The MCS analysis contains inherent assu mptions related to expected stock price volatility, estimated Merger Closing Date, risk-free interest rate, estimated market yield and the probability of a successful transaction. Due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, the overall fair value measurement of the derivative liability was classified as Level 3. Upon the closing of the Merger, the convertible note was converted into shares of flyExclusive Class A Common stock, which triggered the termination of the derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative liability as of October 17, 2022 and December 27, 2023 was determined using the following assumptions: October 17 , 2022 Exchange closing price $ 9.82 Contractual conversion price $ 10.00 Risk-free rate 4.3 % Estimated volatility 4.5 % December 27 , 2023 Exchange closing price $ 11.98 Contractual conversion price $ 10.00 Risk-free rate 5.6 % Estimated volatility 15.1 % The following table shows the change in the fair value of the derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: (in thousands) Amount Balance as of December 31 , 2021 $ — Issuance of derivative instrument $ 1,441 Change in fair value of derivative liability $ (470 ) Balance as of December 31 , 2022 $ 971 Change in fair value of derivative liability 14,589 Derecognition of derivative liability $ (15,560 ) Balance as of December 31 , 2023 $ — There have been no changes in valuation techniques and related inputs. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | 5. Variable Interest Entities As part of the organizational structure, the Company has established numerous single-asset LLC entities (“SAEs”) each for the primary purpose of holding a single identifiable asset, individual planes / aircraft and leasing the asset to the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. There are SAEs in which the Company has less than 100% equity interest (generally 50% or less) (“SAEs with Equity”). There are also SAEs in which the Company holds zero equity interests. Generally, in these instances, the Company initially acquired the aircraft, contributed the aircraft to the SAE, and subsequently sold 100% of the equity interests in the SAE and leased the aircraft back Management analyzes the Company’s variable interests including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the Company has any variable interests in these entities. This analysis includes both qualitative and quantitative reviews. Qualitative analysis is based on an evaluation of the design and primary risk of these entities, their organizational structures including decision making abilities, and financial and contractual agreements. Quantitative analysis is based on these entities’ equity interests and investment. The Company determined it has variable interests in the paint entity and SAEs with Equity as a result of its equity interest in these entities. For those SAEs without Equity that the Company has a (a) lease agreement for the aircraft which is the primary asset of these entities (the “lessor SAEs without Equity”), and (b) either (i) has a call option and/or (ii) a lessor put option for a fixed purchase price, it is determined that the Company has variable interests in the lessor SAEs without Equity. The Company then determines whether the entities that the Company has variable interests in are VIEs. ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, defines a VIE as an entity that either (i) lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; or (ii) whose equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Paint entity, SAEs with Equity and lessor SAEs without Equity are VIEs as they met at least one of the criteria above. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE through (a) power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The Company uses qualitative and quantitative analyses to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of VIEs including evaluation of (a) the purpose and design of the VIE, and (b) activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE. The Company also determines how decisions about significant activities are made in the VIE and the party or parties that make them. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because it acts as manager of the entities’ aircraft or retains control of the entity through terms in the leases, thereby giving it the power to direct activities of the entities that most significantly impact its economic performance. In addition, the Company either (a) has obligations to the losses of the VIEs and the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the entities as a result of its equity interests, or (b) is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in the VIEs due to the other equity holders of these VIEs, as a group, lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include the following assets and liabilities of these VIEs: (in thousands) December 31, December 31, Cash $ 805 $ 1,041 Property and equipment, net 69,815 63,913 Long-term notes payable, current portion 3,087 5,841 Long-term notes payable, non-current 37,404 40,562 The Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) include the following expenses of these VIEs: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Interest expense $ 2,147 $ 1,533 Depreciation and amortization 7,519 7,098 The assets of the Company’s VIEs are only available to settle the obligations of these entities. Creditors of each of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. While the Company has no contractual obligation to do so, it may voluntarily elect to provide the VIEs with additional direct or indirect financial support based on its business objectives. The Company provided financial contributions to the VIEs in the amount of $ 9,541 and $ 14,549 during the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. |

The ERC was subsequently amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2021, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, all of which amended and extended the ERC availability and guidelines under the CARES Act. The goal of the ERC program is to encourage employers to retain and continue paying employees during periods of pandemic-related reduction in business volume even if those employees are not actually working, and therefore, are not providing a service to the employer. Under the Act, eligible employers could take credits up to 70% of qualified wages with a limit of $7 per employee per quarter for the first three quarters of calendar year 2021. In order to qualify for the ERC in 2021, organizations generally have to experience a more than 20% decrease in gross receipts in the quarter compared to the same quarter in calendar year 2019 or its operations are fully or partially suspended during a calendar quarter due to “orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes)” due to COVID-19. As of December 31 , 2023 , the Company has received ERC payments totaling $ 9,044 . The Company’s legal counsel has issued a legal opinion that the Company, more likely than not, qualified for the ERC. However, it remains uncertain whether the Company meets the eligibility qualifications required for the ERC. Therefore, the balance was included in Other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 since the Company may potentially be required to repay the ERC. |

The interest rate is to be adjusted every 5 years and be based on the Prime Rate published as of the date plus the Loan Spread. † LIBOR is defined as the “London Interbank Offer Rate”. ** SOFR is defined as “Secured Overnight Financing Rate”. The Company (the “borrowers”) routinely enters into long-term loan agreements with various lenders for the purpose of financing purchases of aircraft. These loans usually have an initial term between 2 to 15 years and sometimes the borrowers negotiate with the lenders to extend the maturity date at the end of the initial term. The Company will refinance as needed to meet its obligations as they become due within the next 12 months. The Company has maintained a positive relationship with the lenders and has not historically had any difficulty refinancing these debt obligations. Based on historical experience and the fact that the Company has not suffered any decline in creditworthiness, it expects that cash on hand and cash earnings will enable it to secure the necessary refinancing. Amendments are executed at times when interest rates and terms are changed. Under these long-term loan agreements, these borrowers usually pay principal and interest payments each month, followed by a balloon payment of all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest due upon maturity, and when applicable, a loan origination fee upon execution. Additionally, late payments are usually charged a 5% penalty fee (each individual loan agreement varies). Each note payable is collateralized by the specific aircraft financed and is guaranteed by the owners of the borrowers. Debts are usually satisfied when the financed aircraft are sold. The lender may impose a restriction that the outstanding balance of the note may not exceed a percentage of the retail value of the collateral. In the event the outstanding value of the loan exceeds the percentage threshold of the collateralized aircraft, the borrowers may be required to make a payment in order to reduce the balance of the loan. Pursuant to the loan agreements, the borrowers must maintain certain debt service ratios (such as cash flow to leverage or certain EBITDA to total borrowings) specific to each lender as long as the borrowers hold outstanding loans. There are approximately forty separate loan agreements (each loan agreement includes the initial agreement and amendments if applicable) with note payable balances outstanding included in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 . As of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , unamortized debt issuance costs were $ 151 and $ 217 for long-term notes payable (excluding convertible note), respectively. During the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , the Company recorded $ 98 and $ 79 , respectively, in amortization of the debt issuance costs within Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Total Interest expense related to long-term debt (excluding convertible note and VIEs) was $ 9,251 and $ 4,023 for the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. The table below presents the Company’s contractual principal payments (not including debt issuance costs) as of December 31, 2023 under then-outstanding long-term debt agreements in each of the next five calendar years (does not include VIE loans): Fiscal year Amount 2024 $ 23,408 2025 75,500 2026 21,309 2027 12,719 2028 2,528 Thereafter 17,485 152,949 Long-term notes payable from VIE 40,491 Debt issuance costs (151 ) Total long-term notes payable $ 193,289 Credit Facility (term loan) In August 2018, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with a financial institution (the “Lender”) to provide a term loan with a maximum borrowing amount of $12,255, each borrowing considered a loan with a separate promissory note (the “Credit Facility”). Each term loan will be used to finance the purchase of aircraft and shall not exceed certain appraised value of the aircraft that is being financed. Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to the Overnight LIBOR-Based Rate (a per annum rate of interest which is equal to the greater of: (i) the floor rate 2.25 %, and (ii) the sum of Overnight LIBOR plus 2.25 % (Overnight LIBOR Margin) at the execution date of the promissory note. Interest on each loan will be paid in arrears on the same day of each month, commencing on the one-month twelve years . The entire remaining principal balance of the loan, plus all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the fifth-year anniversary of the promissory note (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”). Any installment of principal or interest on the loans which are not paid when due shall bear a default interest rate equal to the lesser of (i) the applicable LIBOR-based rate plus 3 % per annum, or (ii) the highest rate then permitted by applicable law. A late charge of 5 % of any payment will be imposed on any regularly scheduled payment not received by the Lender on or before 15 days from the date such payment is due. The Lender has the right to have any financed aircraft appraised during any outstanding obligations, at the Company’s sole cost and expense. In the event the loan is revealed to have a value greater than a certain percentage of the aircraft, the Company must make a mandatory repayment of the applicable loan to an amount that will reduce the loan to be less than the required percentage of the applicable appraised value. Pursuant to the term loan agreement, the Company must maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio (the ratio calculated by dividing EBITDA and sum of all loan payments), tested annually. There is also an optional prepayment clause which specifies that the Company may prepay any loans in whole or in part, and all prepayments of principal shall include interest accrued to the date of the prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid. The Credit Facility contains clauses requiring the Company to maintain their limited liability companies’ existence and to not permit any of the subsidiaries to liquidate, dissolve, change their names, or consolidate with other corporations without prior consent of the Lender. The original loan agreement states that the Company may not re-borrow In August 2019 , the Company entered into the First Amendment of the original term loan agreement which increased the maximum available borrowings of the Credit Facility to $ 22,255 and extended the Term Loan Maturity Date to November 2020 . The First Amendment also amended the covenant to require the Company to maintain a certain Fixed Charge Coverage ratio tested on the date immediately preceding each borrowing and upon receipt of quarterly financial statements. In November 2020, the Company entered into the Second Amendment of the term loan agreement which increased the maximum available borrowings of the Credit Facility to $ 27,250 and extended the Term Loan Maturity Date to November 2022 . In September 2022 , the Company entered into the Third Amendment of the term loan agreement which increased maximum available borrowings of the Credit Facility to $ 32,250 and extended the Term Loan Maturity Date to September 2024 . The Third Amendment also states that the Company may repay any outstanding loan at any time and any amounts so repaid may be reborrowed, up to the Maximum Loan Amount at the time of such borrowing. The Third Amendment also amended the interest rate terms and provided the option to elect a rate per year equal to SOFR-Based Rate or the Prime-Based Rate. In December 2023 , the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment of the term loan agreement which decreased maximum available borrowings of the Credit Facility to $ 15,250 . The Company elected to utilize the SOFR-Based Rate upon execution of the amendment and continued to pay interest based on the SOFR-Based Rate as of December 31 , 2023 . As of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , the aggregate outstanding balances on the term loan were $ 13,148 and $ 32,153 , respectively and the Company had approximately $ 2,102 and $ 97 additional available borrowing capacity under the term loan, respectively. As of December 31 , 2023 the term loans bear maturity dates from January 2024 to April 2027 . Credit Facility (Revolving Line of Credit) In March 2023 , the Company entered into a revolving uncommitted line of credit loan with the lender (the “LOC Master Note”). The LOC Master Note provides a line of credit of up to $ 60,000 and the Company may request one or more loans from time to time until the scheduled maturity date of March 9 , 2024 (“LOC Master Note Maturity Date”). The loan is collateralized by the Company’s investment accounts with the financial institution. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on term loans drawn from the LOC Master Note is equal to either the Prime-Based Rate, defined as the greater of 1.25% or the prime rate minus 1.88%, or the Daily Simple SOFR-Based Rate, defined as the greater of 1.25% or the Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.25% (“Interest Rate Option”). The Company agrees to pay accrued interest monthly on the 9th day of each month, beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the date of the first Loan, at maturity of this note, and upon payment in full, whichever is earlier or more frequent. After maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest shall be payable upon demand. The Company may prepay any principal bearing interest at any Interest Rate Option in whole or in part without breakage fee, penalty or premium; provided, however, that if a Swap Agreement with a Daily Simple SOFR-Based Rate is in effect between Lender and the Company in connection with a Loan made pursuant to this LOC Master Note, any applicable swap breakage fees, penalties, premiums and costs will apply. There is no Swap Agreement in place as of December 31, 2023. The LOC Master Note contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants and is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, failure to maintain the market value of the collateral such that at all times it equals or exceeds the Minimum Liquidity Balance and certain other events of default. All payments shall be made in immediately available funds and shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal; however, if an Event of Default occurs, Lender may in its sole discretion, and in such order as it may choose, apply any payment to interest, principal and/or lawful charges and expenses then accrued. The Company 44,527 principal amount in March 2023 , with the selected interest option of SOFR plus 1.25 %. In April, September, and October 2023 , the Company drew additional $ 3,300 , $ 8,713 and $ 3,000 principal amounts, respectively, under the LOC Master Note with the selected interest option of SOFR plus 1.25 %. As of December 31 , 2023 , the Company has an outstanding balance on the LOC Master Note of $ 59,540 with the selected interest option of SOFR plus 1.25 %. Subsequent to December 31 , 2023 , the Company entered into an amendment to the LOC Master Note to extend the maturity date to September 9 , 2025 . Refer to Note 24 , “Subsequent Events,” for additional details. Debt Covenants Financial covenants contained in the debt borrowings mandate that the Company maintains certain financial metrics, including, but not limited to, debt service coverage ratios, fixed charge cover ratios, or cash flow cover ratios. If the Company is unable to maintain the financial metric, it is a breach of the debt covenant and is considered an event of default. An event of default can result in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable, including the advance of any sums necessary to cure the event of default, allowing the lenders to seize the collateralized assets, aircraft and the debt agreements being terminated. As of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants and obtained waiver request letters from the various lenders. Pursuant to the waiver letters, the lenders agreed to waive the financial covenants for the years ended December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 . The aggregate balances of outstanding debt obligations for which waiver letters were received was $ 42,675 and $ 13,645 as of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , respectively. Bridge Notes On October 17 , 2022 , the Company entered into the EPA with EGA (see Note 1 , “Organization and Operations”). In combination with the EPA, the Company entered into a senior subordinated convertible note agreement (the “Bridge Notes”) with an investor (“Noteholder”). Pursuant to the convertible note agreement, the Company borrowed and agreed to repay the Noteholder a principal amount of $ 50,000 , which can be increased to a maximum borrowing of $ 85,000 . On October 28 , 2022 , the Company requested and received the additional $ 35,000 incremental note funding, bringing the total borrowing amount to $ 85,000 . The Bridge Notes accrued interest daily at the applicable rate which is 10 %. Pursuant to the convertible note agreement, interest is payable in kind (“PIK”, instead of paying cash, accrued interest will be added to the outstanding principal balance and will be deemed paid) annually on the anniversary of the closing date of the Bridge Notes of October 17, 2022. The Company assessed all terms and features of the Bridge Notes in order to identify any potential embedded features that would require bifurcation. As part of this analysis, the Company assessed the economic characteristics and risks of the Bridge Notes, including the conversion, put and call features. In consideration of the conversion provision, the Company concluded the conversion feature required bifurcation as a derivative. The fair value of the conversion feature derivative was determined based on the difference between the fair value of the Bridge Notes with the conversion option and the fair value of the Bridge Notes without the conversion option. The Company determined that the fair value of the derivative upon issuance of the Bridge Notes was $ 1,441 and recorded this amount as a derivative liability and the offsetting amount as a debt discount as a reduction to the carrying value of the Bridge Notes on the Bridge Note’s closing date of October 17 , 2022 . As of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , the fair value of the derivative liability was zero and $ 971 , respectively. Upon closing of the Merger, the outstanding principal balance of the Bridge Notes of $ 85,000 and accrued PIK interest of $ 10,503 were automatically converted into 9,550,274 shares of flyExclusive Class A common stock, settling the Company’s repayment obligation, (See Note 3 , “Merger”). Immediately prior to the conversion on the Closing Date, the Company remeasured the associated derivative liability to its fair value as of the Closing Date of $ 15,560 . The Company recognized an unrealized loss of $ 14,589 related to the change in fair value of derivative liability from December 31 , 2022 to the Closing Date within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Upon conversion, the Company removed the associated unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 717 and derivative liability of $ 15,560 from the consolidated balance sheets and recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $ 14,843 within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31 , 2023 . For the year ended December 31 , 2022 , the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $ 470 related to the change in fair value of derivative liability within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Bridge Notes was zero and $ 1,500 , respectively. During the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , the Company recorded $ 783 and $ 202 , respectively, in amortization of the debt discount and $ 8,687 and $ 1,816 , respectively, related to the PIK interest expense within Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The effective interest rate used was 13.3 % as of the conversion date of December 27 , 2023 , and 14.3 % as of December 31 , 2022 . Paycheck protection program (“PPP”) loans In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) In January 2021, the Company entered into an additional PPP loan agreement for approximately $339. The PPP loan bears a fixed interest rate of 1% over a five-year term, is guaranteed by the U.S. federal government and does not require collateral. The loans may be forgiven, in part or whole, if the proceeds are used to retain and pay employees and for other qualifying expenditures. During 2021, the Company used all of the 2021 PPP loan proceeds to pay for qualified expenses, 100% of which were used to pay for payroll-related expenses. The Company submitted its application and supporting documentation for forgiveness to its bank, which submitted the application and supporting documentation to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The balance on the PPP Loan was $ 339 and is included in Other non-current , 2022 . The loan was forgiven in April 2023 including all accrued and unpaid interest. During the year ended December 31 , 2023 , the Company recognized loan forgiveness of $ 339 as Other expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EID”) In August 2020 , the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing loans offered by the SBA under its EID loan assistance program and received the loan proceeds of $ 122 . The proceeds from the EID Loan must be used for working capital. The EID Loan has a thirty-year term and bears interest at a rate of 3.75 % per annum with monthly principal and interest payments being deferred for 12 months after the date of disbursement. On March 11 , 2021 , the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was enacted, which extended the first due date for repayment of EIDLs made in 2020 from 12 months to 24 months from the date of the note. The EID loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Loan Authorization and Agreement and the note executed by the Company in connection with the EID Loan contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type and the EID loan is secured by a security interest on all of the Company’s assets. |

Stock-based Compensation | 19. Stock-based Compensation 2023 Equity Incentive Plan The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan is 6,000,000 shares. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan will be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the shares, or similar transaction affecting the shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) any other transaction with respect to the Company’s Common Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off On December 27, 2023 (the “Grant Date”), 73,600 shares of fully vested Class A Common Stock were granted to employees of flyExclusive as compensation for services provided.

The Company recognized the entire fair value of $ 882 as stock-based compensation within selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2023. The $ 882 was calculated as the 73,600 shares that immediately vested upon the Grant Date, which was the date of the closing of the Merger, multiplied by the Grant Date fair value per share of the Class A Common Stock of $ 11.98 . No other awards were granted under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan during the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for future issuance under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The ESPP provides eligible employees of the Company with a convenient means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions. The aggregate number of common stock reserved for future employee purchases under the ESPP is 1,500,000 shares. The number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP will be adjusted by the administrator in the event of any change affecting the number, class or terms of the Company’s Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding common stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, the ESPP will be administered on the basis of sequential six-month offering periods until the ESPP is terminated: (a) the six ( 6 ) month period commencing on January 1 and ending on the following June 30, and (b) the six ( 6 ) month period commencing on July 1 and ending on the following December 31. Each person who is an eligible employee on a date of grant will be granted an option for the offering period.

Income Taxes | 20. Income Taxes The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss as well as any standalone income or loss flyExclusive Inc generates. As of December 31, 2023, flyExclusive, Inc held 22 % of the economic interest in LGM, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, LGM generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws as its net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such net taxable income (loss) or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. flyExclusive, Inc is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of the net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits of LGM. The components of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows: Year Ended 2023 Current Federal $ — State — Total income taxes $ — The following table represents a reconciliation of income tax expense at the statutory federal income tax rate to the actual income tax expense from continuing operations: Year Ended Amount Tax Rate Loss before income taxes $ (54,738 ) Tax expense at statutory rate (11,495 ) 21.0 % Increases (reductions) in taxes resulting from: Loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest (225 ) 0.4 Change in fair value of warrant liabilities 70 (0.1 ) Change in fair value of derivative liability (955 ) 1.7 Change in valuation allowance 952 (1.7 ) Unrecognized benefit from LLC flow thru structure 11,667 (21.3 ) Deferred Rate Change — — State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit — — Other adjustments, net (14 ) — Income tax expense $ — — % The effective tax rate was — % for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the unrecognized benefit from the LLC flow thru structure. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The principal components of our net deferred tax liability were as follows: December 31, Deferred tax assets Net operating loss carryforward $ 634 Interest Expense 558 Start Up Cost 679 Outside basis difference on investment in LGM Enterprises, LLC (a) 12,963 Other, net — Total deferred tax assets 14,834 Valuation allowance (14,834 ) Net deferred tax assets $ — (a) The Company’s deferred tax asset for the investment in partnership relates to the excess outside tax basis over financial reporting outside basis in LGM Enterprises, LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establish valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets may not be realized. In making this determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary difference, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. As of December 31 , 2023 , we concluded based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that it is more likely than not that the majority of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly a valuation allowance of $ 14,834 has been established as of December 31 , 2023 . The full valuation allowance will remain until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. As of December 31 , 2023 , the Company had U.S federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) totaling $ 2,607 which have expiration dates extending indefinitely without expiration as well as state NOL carryforwards totaling $ 2,607 which have various expiration dates extending through 2043 . The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions in which it operates. Therefore, the Company is subject to tax examination by various taxing authorities. The Company is not currently under examination, and is not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its tax positions. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period. As of December 31 , 2023 , the tax years from 2019 to present generally remain open to examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 22. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings flyExclusive Litigation On June 30 , 2023 , flyExclusive served Wheels Up Partners, LLC (“WUP”) a Notice of Termination of the parties’ Fleet Guaranteed Revenue Program Agreement, dated November 1 , 2021 (the “GRP Agreement”) following material breaches of the GRP Agreement by WUP, including WUP’s failure to pay outstanding amounts owed to flyExclusive under the GRP Agreement. Subsequently, on July 5 , 2023 , WUP filed a lawsuit against flyExclusive in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that flyExclusive breached the GRP Agreement and the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing therein by wrongfully terminating the GRP Agreement. WUP contends that flyExclusive did not have a right to terminate the GRP Agreement, that the termination was thus ineffective, and instead constituted a material breach of the GRP Agreement. WUP alleges this gave WUP the right to terminate the GRP Agreement, which WUP alleges it has done. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount and attorney’s fees and costs. flyExclusive plans to defend this unjustified action by WUP vigorously. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this event and an estimate cannot be made at this time. See Note 2 , “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for additional details of the Guaranteed Revenue Program. Other Litigation The Company is subject to certain claims and contingent liabilities that arise in the normal course of business. While we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of any of these pending actions will have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. As such, there can be no assurance that any pending legal action, which we currently believe to be immaterial, does not become material in the future. Repurchase Contingencies The Company has entered into sale and leaseback transactions in the ordinary course of business (see Note 5 , “Variable Interest Entities”), and the Company has certain repurchase contingencies at the option of the lessors. These transactions typically require the aircraft lessor to provide the Company with formal notice of the exercise of the put option associated with the lease no later than 60 or 90 days in advance of the end of the lease term, with the aircraft repurchase to occur at the end of the lease term. Each lease with an associated put option has a lease term of typically 5 to 10 years from the date the aircraft is added by the FAA to the Company’s Charter Certificate Operation Specifications, and occasionally has a lease term beginning on the effective date of the lease agreement or the date the aircraft is delivered to the Company. Additionally, the put option purchase price is typically reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of each monthly payment or flight credit over the course of the lease term, but not reduced below a certain threshold. The following is a schedule by years of future repurchase contingencies under the leases as of the year ended December 31 , 2023 : Fiscal Year Amount 2024 $ 3,735 2025 7,464 2026 29,524 2027 26,145 2028 7,364 $ 74,232 On August 26, 2021, the Company was issued formal notice from a lessor that it had exercised the end of term put option in connection with a leased aircraft. The Company is obligated to repurchase the aircraft in at the end of the lease term at the price of $ less the dollar-for-dollar amount of each monthly payment made over the course of the lease term, but not reduced below $ by application of such reduction. |

Stockholders’ Equity / Members’ Deficit and Noncontrolling Interests On December 27 , 2023 , in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”). The total number of shares of all classes of stock the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to the Charter is 325,000,000 shares, consisting of the following: Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of December 31 , 2023 there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. Class A Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of December 31 , 2023 , there were 16,647,529 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding. Class B Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock at a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of December 31 , 2023 , there were 59,930,000 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. The holders of the Class B Common Stock hold an equal number of LGM Common Units. Beginning on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the LGM Common Units may be redeemed for either one share of Class A Common Stock or cash, at the election of the Board. For each LGM Common Unit that is redeemed, one Class B Common Stock will be automatically cancelled. Voting Rights The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their vote or approval except as required by law or as provided in the Charter. Dividends The holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the Board, out of the assets of the Company that are available at the time and in the amounts as the Board in its discretion may determine. With respect to stock dividends, holders of Class A Common Stock must receive shares of Class A Common Stock. The holders of Class B Common Stock will not have any right to receive dividends other than stock dividends consisting of shares of Class B Common Stock, in each case paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock. Liquidation Upon the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution, the holders of all classes of Common Stock are entitled to their respective par value, and the holders of Class A Common Stock will then be entitled to share ratably in those assets that are legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding. Other than their par value, the holders of Class B Common Stock will not have any right to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Noncontrolling Interest The Company held a controlling interest in several entities that are not wholly-owned as described above (see Note 5 , “Variable Interest Entities”) and net income or net loss of such entities is allocated on a straight percentage basis based on the given terms of each entity’s operating agreement (see percentage below). Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 was $ 8,983 and $ 10,200 , respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated entities are comprised of the following (11 entities): Entities - Major Owner Noncontrolling Company Total Entities 1-3 99 % 1 % 100 % Entity 4 95 % 5 % 100 % Entity 5 77 % 23 % 100 % Entity 6 75 % 25 % 100 % Entity 7 70 % 30 % 100 % Entity 8 68 % 32 % 100 % Entity 9 67 % 33 % 100 % Entity 10 58 % 42 % 100 % Entity 11 52 % 48 % 100 % On July 1 , 2023 , the Company entered into an agreement with the noncontrolling interests of certain controlled and consolidated aircraft leasing entities to exchange ownership interests involving sixteen aircraft and their related entities. The purpose of the transactions was to give the Company 100 % ownership of certain aircraft. These transfers are accounted for as equity transactions and no gain or loss was recognized during the year ended December 31 , 2023 . These transfers are included within exchanges of aircraft ownership interests on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) / members’ equity (deficit) and temporary equity. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated aircraft leasing entities are not changed. The carrying amounts of the noncontrolling interests are adjusted to reflect the change in the ownership interests of each consolidated aircraft leasing entity. As of December 31 , 2022 , the noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated entities were comprised of the following (22 entities): Entities - Major Owner Noncontrolling LGME’s Total Entities 1-4 99 % 1 % 100 % Entity 5 75 % 25 % 100 % Entity 6 68 % 32 % 100 % Entity 7 67 % 33 % 100 % Entities 8-9 58 % 42 % 100 % Entities 10-22 52 % 48 % 100 % Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest The redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the 59,930 ,000 LGM Common Units held by the Existing Equityholders. On the Closing Date, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was established and calculated as the product of its ownership percentage in the Company on the Closing Date, or 78.3 %, and the carrying value of the LGM net liabilities immediately prior to the Closing Date. This resulted in a negative initial carrying value $ 42,431 , presented within temporary equity on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) / members’ equity (deficit) and temporary equity. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is not redeemable until the one year anniversary date of the Closing Date, or December 27, 2024; however, as of its establishment on the Closing Date it was probable of becoming redeemable as its potential future redemption was only dependent upon the passage of time. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of the redeemable noncontrolling interest at each reporting date is determined as the higher of (1) the initial carrying value, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss, or (2) the redemption value. In determining the measurement method of redemption value, the Company elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (the Closing Date) to the earliest redemption date (December 27, 2024) of the instrument using the interest method. Changes in the redemption value are considered to be changes in accounting estimates. Net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest for the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 was $ 1,080 and zero , respectively. Changes in the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest for the period from the Closing Date through December 31 , 2023 were as follows: Balance as of December 27, 2023 $ (42,431 ) Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest 1,080 Change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interest 5,826 Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ (35,525 ) |

Summary of Significant Accoun_2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2023 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of flyExclusive, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, all majority owned subsidiaries where the ownership is more than 50 % and the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which flyExclusive or one of its subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary, regardless of the ownership percentage. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Where the Company’s ownership interest is less than 100 %, the non-redeemable 480-10-S99-3(A)(2). |
Reclassification | Reclassification Certain amounts presented in the Company’s previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the consolidated balance sheets, the Company has made a reclassification within the current assets and the operating assets remain unchanged from the previously issued balance sheet as of December 31 , 2022 . |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Subjective and significant estimates include, but are not limited to, determinations of the useful lives and expected future cash flows of long-lived assets, including intangibles, estimates of allowances for uncollectible accounts, determination of impairment and fair value estimates associated with asset acquisitions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period that they are determined. |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company determined its operating segment after considering the Company’s organizational structure and the information regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has determined that its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews the financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. On the basis of these factors, the Company determined that it operates and manages its business as one operating segment, charter aviation services. All ancillary and other revenue sources such as fractional ownership and MRO services are primarily to support the provision of the Company’s charter services to customers. Substantially all the Company’s long-lived assets are held in the United States, and revenue from charter aviation charter services is substantially earned from flights throughout the United States. |
Public Warrants and Private Warrants and Derivative Financial Instruments | Public Warrants and Private Warrants Upon the closing of the Merger, the Company assumed (i) the Public Warrants initially included in the EGA units issued in EGA’s initial public offering, and (ii) the warrants of EGA held by EG Sponsor LLC (the “EGA Sponsor”) that were issued to the EGA Sponsor at the closing of EGA’s initial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants,” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Company determines the accounting classification of Warrants as either liability or equity by first assessing whether the Warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). Under ASC 480, a financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares must be classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on any one of the following: (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception; (b) variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; or (c) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares. The Company determined that the Warrants should not be classified as liabilities under ASC 480. If financial instruments, such as the Warrants, are not required to be classified as liabilities under ASC 480, the Company assesses whether such instruments are indexed to the Company’s own stock under ASC 815-40. liabilities. The Company also determined that the Warrants met all criteria to meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83. The Company recorded the Warrants as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) at each reporting date. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815 , Derivatives and Hedging. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued The Company’s Bridge Notes (as defined in Note 15 , “Debt”) contained a conversion feature which met the definition of a derivative instrument. The Company classified the instrument as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets. The derivative liability was initially recorded at fair value upon issuance of the Bridge Notes and was subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability were recognized as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s Bridge Notes were converted into 9,550,274 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock upon the closing of the Merger (see Note 3 , “Merger,” and Note 15 , “Debt”). The derivative liability was remeasured as of the Closing Date of the Merger, with the change in fair value recorded within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Upon conversion, a gain on extinguishment was recorded within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on the fair value of the derivative liability and the derivative liability was removed from the consolidated balance sheets. |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The Company’s cash equivalents and investments in securities are carried at fair value in Level 1 or Level 2, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 4 Fair Value Measurements). The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, other receivables, parts and supplies inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s Bridge Notes (as defined in Note 15, “Debt”) contained an embedded derivative feature that was required to be bifurcated and remeasured to fair value at each reporting period based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and was classified as a Level 3 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The carrying amount of the Company’s Bridge Notes approximated its fair value as the interest rates of the Bridge Notes are based on prevailing market rates. The Bridge Notes were converted into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the Closing Date causing the derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets to be removed as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The closing price of the Public Warrants is used as the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants as of each relevant reporting date. The fair value of the Public Warrants is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The fair value of the Private Warrants is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement due to the use of an observable market quote for the Public Warrants, which are considered to be a similar asset in an active market. |
Concentration of Credit Risk and Customer Concentration | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with multiple high credit quality U.S. financial institutions. At various times throughout the period, the Company’s cash deposits with any one financial institution may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company has not experienced any losses of such amounts and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents. Customer Concentration The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral. During the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , one customer accounted for $ 67,985 and $ 125,360 , respectively, of net sales, which represents 22 % and 39 % of total revenue, respectively. As of December 31 , 2023 , one customer accounted for $ 341 of accounts receivable. This represented approximately 12 % of accounts receivable as of December 31 , 2023 . As of December 31 , 2022 , one customer accounted for $ 8,682 of accounts receivable. This represented approximately 91 % of accounts receivable as of December 31 , 2022 . During the year ended December 31 , 2023 , one vendor accounted for $ 60,909 of cost of revenue, which represents 23 % of total cost of revenue. During the year ended December 31 , 2022 , one vendor accounted for $ 39,656 of cost of revenue, which represents 16 % of total cost of revenue. There were no vendors accounting for greater than 10 % of total accounts payable as of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 . |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash consists of bank deposits. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. As of December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , cash equivalents consisted of government money market funds. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value. |
Receivables, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses | Receivables, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced or earned amount billed to the customers and are reported as net of an allowance for credit losses. Prior to adopting Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 , Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC Topic 326 ”), as set forth in “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” below, the Company applied an incurred loss estimate to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts. Under ASC Topic 326 , the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses and considers the level of past-due 80 and $ 82 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. |
Notes Receivable | Notes receivables are recorded at amortized cost, and are reported as net of an allowance for credit losses. Under ASC Topic 326, the 2,558 and zero as of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , respectively. |
Parts and Supplies Inventory | Parts and Supplies Inventory Inventories are used in operations and are generally held for internal use. Inventories are comprised of spare aircraft parts, materials and supplies, which are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out |
Investments in securities | Investments in securities Investments in securities consist of fixed-income securities including corporate bonds, government bonds, municipal issues and U.S. treasury bills that are classified as available-for-sale , Investments—Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC Topic 320 ”). The Company classifies investments available to fund current operations as current assets on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates ASC Topic 326 eliminated the concept of other-than-temporary impairment for securities. For securities AFS in an unrealized loss position, the Company determines whether they intend to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the new standard requires the security’s amortized cost basis to be written down to fair value through income with an allowance being established under ASC Topic 326 . For securities AFS with unrealized losses not meeting these criteria, the Company evaluates whether any decline in fair value is due to credit loss factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent of the unrealized loss, any changes to the rating of the security by rating agencies and adverse conditions specifically related to the issuer of the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, impairment related to credit-related factors must be recognized as an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Impairment related to non-credit As of December 31 , 2023 and at adoption of ASC Topic 326 on January 1 , 2023 , there was no ACL related to debt securities AFS. Accrued interest receivable on debt securities was excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Realized losses on investment securities were $ 238 and $ 400 for the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. There were 13 and 24 debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. The fair value of these debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $4,263 and $7,236, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total fair value of debt securities in an unrealized loss position greater than one year was $2,759 and $1,765, which the total unrealized losses of these investments were $395 and $98, respectively. The Company determined that the decline in the market value of these securities was primarily attributable to current economic conditions. |
Prepaid Engine Overhaul | Prepaid Engine Overhaul The Company has entered into Engine Overhaul Programs for certain aircraft to cover major maintenance costs at specified intervals primarily relating to engine hours. Such engine overhauls are not considered to be routine maintenance, rather capital expenditures that extend the useful life of the underlying engine. The Company has elected the Built-in |
Property and Equipment, Net | Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Estimated Useful Life Transportation equipment 5-20 years Office furniture and equipment 3-10 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of remaining lease term or useful life |
Leases | Leases In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, ”), the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date, when control of the underlying asset is transferred from the lessor to the lessee, as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use The Company enters into contracts that contain both lease and non-lease non-lease typically variable and excluded from the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of the lease based on the effective rates at lease commencement. Subsequent changes in the rates or indices do not impact the right of use asset or lease liability and are recognized as a component of variable lease cost in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease if readily determinable. If the rate implicit is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate based upon the available information at the lease commencement date. ROU assets are further adjusted for items such as initial direct costs, prepaid rent, or lease incentives. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method over the lease term. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. |
Asset Acquisition | Asset Acquisition The Company applies a screen test to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. When an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination because either: (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or group of similar identified assets, or (ii) the acquired entity does not have an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, the Company accounts for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. If determined to be an asset acquisition, the Company accounts for the transaction under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires the acquiring entity in an asset acquisition to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the cost to the acquiring entity on a relative fair value basis, which includes transaction costs in addition to consideration given. No gain or loss is recognized as of the date of acquisition unless the fair value of non-cash non-cash |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets The Company’s identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of software and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) certificates. These intangible assets arise primarily from the determination of their respective fair market values at the date of acquisition. Amounts assigned to identifiable intangible assets, and their related useful lives, are derived from established valuation techniques and management estimates. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis, which the Company believes approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized, over their estimated useful lives. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets with determinable useful lives whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted net future cash flows to the related asset’s carrying value. If impairment exists, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. There no impairment losses for the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 . |
Debt Issuance Costs and debt discounts | Debt Issuance Costs and debt discounts The Company borrows from various lenders to finance its growth and operations. Costs incurred in connection with financings, such as loan origination fees, investment banking fees and legal fees are classified as debt discounts if paid to the lenders and are classified as debt issuance costs if paid to the third parties. Debt discounts related to bifurcated derivatives, fees paid to the lenders and debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the related borrowing and are amortized over the expected life of the related financing agreements using the effective interest rate method as a component of interest expense. See Note 15 , “Debt,” for additional disclosures. |
Noncontrolling interest and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | Noncontrolling interest Noncontrolling interests represent ownership interests attributable to third parties in certain consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) / members’ equity (deficit) and temporary equity attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest In connection with the Merger, see Note 3 , “Merger,” the former holders (the “Existing Equityholders”) of units of ownership interest in LGM (the “LGM Common Units”) retained post-Merger ownership interests in LGM as noncontrolling interests. Pursuant to the Amendment and Restated Operating Agreement, dated December 27 , 2023 (the “Operating Agreement”), upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Existing Equityholders may redeem all or a portion of their LGM Common Units for either (a) shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“flyExclusive Class A Common Stock” or the “Class A Common Stock”) or b) an equivalent amount of cash as determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement. While the Company determines whether redemption settlement is for cash or shares, settlement is not considered within the sole control of the Company as the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock (“flyExclusive Class B Common Stock” or the “Class B Common Stock) will designate a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). Since redemption for cash is not considered within the sole control of the Company, the noncontrolling interest is classified as temporary equity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3(A)(2). For periods when the noncontrolling interest is probable of becoming redeemable (but is not currently redeemable), the Company will accrete changes in its redemption value from the date it becomes probable that it will become redeemable (the Closing Date) to its earliest redemption date (first anniversary of the Closing Date). This measurement method is in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3(A)15a. the initial carrying value, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss, or (2) the redemption value. The Company is required to either (1) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using an appropriate methodology, usually the interest method, or (2) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (the Closing Date) to the earliest redemption date (the one year anniversary of the Closing Date) using the interest method. Any change in the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest will be recorded against additional paid-in |
Deferred Revenue, Revenue Recognition, Contract Acquisition Costs and Customer Deposits Liability | Deferred Revenue The Company manages Jet Club Memberships, Guaranteed Fleet, MRO, and Fractional Ownership programs. These programs require deposits for future flight services. Consideration received in excess of revenue earned results in deferred revenue and is recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 14 , “Other Non-Current , “Revenue,” below for additional disclosures regarding deferred revenue related to these programs. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when the promised services are performed and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services using the following steps: 1) identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer, 2) identification of performance obligations in the contract, 3) determination of the transaction price, 4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. Determining the transaction price may require significant judgment and is determined based on the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring services to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company earned revenue primarily from the programs below: Jet Club Membership Jet Club members are guaranteed access to the Company’s fleet of light, midsize and super-midsize aircraft in exchange for membership fees. New members pay a deposit, up to a maximum of $ 500 , depending on their level of membership. Membership levels determine the daily rate a member is charged for future flights. Incidental fees are also applied against members’ accounts. The initial and any subsequent deposits are non-refundable Guaranteed Revenue Program The Company launched a guaranteed revenue program with a single customer on November 1 , 2021 . Under this program, the Company serves as an on-demand 28 months, which includes a drawdown period of 10 months if the agreement is terminated. The agreement will continue indefinitely unless terminated by either party. The Company requires a deposit of $ 1,250 per reserved aircraft. These deposits are included within Other non-current right-to-invoice , “Commitments and Contingencies,” below, the Company has recognized the remaining deposits as revenue during the year ended December 31 , 2023 , and therefore, the Guaranteed Revenue Program deposits balance was zero as of December 31 , 2023 . See Note 14 , “Other Non-Current Fractional Ownership The fractional revenue stream involves a customer purchasing a fractional ownership interest in an aircraft for a contractual term of up to 5 years. Customers have the right to flight and membership services from a fleet of aircraft, including the aircraft they have fractionally purchased. Customers are charged for flight services as incurred based on agreed upon daily and hourly rates in addition to the upfront fractional ownership purchase price. At the end of the contractual term, the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase the fractional interest. In certain contracts the customer can require the Company to repurchase their ownership interest after a fixed period of time but prior to the contractual termination date of the contract. The repurchase price, whether at the contractual termination date or at the specified earlier date, is calculated as follows: 1) the fair market value of the aircraft at the time of repurchase, 2) multiplied by the fractional ownership percentage, 3) less a remarketing fee. At the time of repurchase, all fractional ownership interests revert to the Company, and all rights to flight and membership services are relinquished. The Company assessed whether these repurchase agreements result in a lease contract under the scope of ASC 842 but determined that they are revenue contracts under the scope of ASC 606 since the repurchase price is lower than the original selling price, and the customer does not have a significant economic incentive to exercise the put option. Further, the fractional ownership sales are accounted for as containing a right of return and the resulting liability is included within Other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The consideration from the fractional ownership interest, as adjusted for any related customer right of return, is included in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets and recognized over the term of the contract on a straight-line basis as the membership services are provided. Variable consideration generated from flight services is recognized in the period of performance. Maintenance Repair and Overhaul The Company separately provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services for aircraft owners and operators at certain facilities. MRO ground services are comprised of a single performance obligation for aircraft maintenance services such as modifications, repairs and inspections. MRO revenue is recognized over time based on the cost of parts and supplies inventory consumed and labor hours worked for each service provided. Any billing for MRO services that exceeds revenue earned to date is included in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft Sales The Company occasionally sells aircraft from its fleet. The gain or loss from each transaction is recognized upon completion of the sale as Gain on sale of property and equipment within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded gains of $ and $ on aircraft sold, respectively. Contract Acquisition Costs The Company pays commissions on deposits from new and recurring Jet Club member contracts. These commissions are contract acquisition costs that are capitalized as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets as these are incremental amounts directly related to attaining contracts with customers. Capitalized sales commissions were 1,315 and $ 1,053 during the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively. As of December 31 , 2023 and December 31 , 2022 , contract acquisition costs of $ 514 and $ 290 , respectively, were included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $ 631 and $ 484 , respectively, were included within Other non-current Capitalized contract costs are amortized on a straight-line basis concurrently over the same period of benefit in which the associated revenue is recognized. Amortization expense related to capitalized contract costs included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was $ 827 and $ 653 during the years ended December 31 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation In connection with the Merger, the Board approved the flyExclusive, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, on November 10 , 2023 (the “Incentive Plan Effective Date”), at which time the plan became effective, subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months. The plan was subsequently approved by the stockholders on December 18 , 2023 . The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other rights or benefits to employees, directors and consultants. In connection with the Merger, the Board approved the flyExclusive, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), on November 10 , 2023 (the “ESPP Effective Date”), at which time the plan became effective, subject to stockholder approval. The plan was subsequently approved by the stockholders on December 18 , 2023 . The ESPP provides eligible employees with a means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for future employee purchases under the ESPP is 1,500,000 shares. The ESPP will expire on October 31 , 2033 , unless sooner terminated by the Board, or when all available shares have been purchased. As of December 31 , 2023 , no shares had been purchased by employees under the ESPP. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 , Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718 ”). ASC 718 requires that the cost of awards of equity instruments offered in exchange for services, be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method with forfeitures accounted for as they occur. See Note 19 , “Stock-based Compensation,” for additional information regarding stock-based compensation, the ESPP and the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share The Company computes earnings (net loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (net loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents, and other potentially dilutive securities, if any, outstanding during the period. On December 27, 2023, EGA and LGM consummated the Merger pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, which significantly altered the Company’s capital structure. Prior to the closing of the Merger, the legal structure of LGM was a limited liability company with ownership interests consisting of members’ units. Application of an exchange ratio of members’ units for shares of common stock for periods prior to the Merger would not be representative of the capital structure of the Company after the Merger. As such, the Company determined that an exchange ratio should not be applied to periods before the Merger and therefore earnings (net loss) per unit for periods prior to the Merger should not be presented as it would not provide a meaningful comparison with earnings (net loss) per share for periods after the Merger. See Note 3, “Merger,” for further discussion. Additionally, the Company determined that the presentation of earnings (net loss) per share for the five-day |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as operating losses, We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within income tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). |
Excise Tax | Excise Tax In accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the Company records a liability for the expected excise tax obligation at the end of each reporting period. In general, the excise tax liability is calculated as 1% multiplied by the difference between the following: 1) the fair value of the repurchases/redemptions of shares during the period less 2) the fair value of share issuances during the period. The offset to excise tax liability is a reduction to retained earnings (if an entity has retained earnings as opposed to an accumulated deficit) or a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the absence of retained earnings. As the Company has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2023, the offset to the excise tax liability has been recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. |

Advertising Expense | Advertising Expense The Company expenses all advertising costs when incurred. Advertising expenses were $ 6,013 and $ 3,242 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This is included within Selling, general and administrative costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326 2016-13”), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 became effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, 2020-03”). 2020-03 2020-03 2020-03 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In August 2020 , the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, 470-20) 2020-06”). 2020-06 2020-06 In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, 2016-02, In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, 2023-07”), interim basis. Entities will also be required to disclose information about the CODM’s title and position at the Company along with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in their assessment of segment performance and deciding whether how to allocate resources. Finally, ASU 2023-07 requires all segment disclosures for public entities, even those with a single reportable segment. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will become effective on a retrospective basis for annual disclosures for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with interim period disclosures required effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of ASU 2023-07 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 modifies the reporting requirements for income tax disclosures related to effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. Pursuant to ASU 2023-09, public business entities are required to disclose certain categories in the income tax rate reconciliation, as well as additional information for reconciling items that meet a specific quantitative threshold. Additionally, ASU 2023-09 requires annual disclosures of income taxes paid for all entities, including the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements. |
Variable Interest Entities | Management analyzes the Company’s variable interests including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the Company has any variable interests in these entities. This analysis includes both qualitative and quantitative reviews. Qualitative analysis is based on an evaluation of the design and primary risk of these entities, their organizational structures including decision making abilities, and financial and contractual agreements. Quantitative analysis is based on these entities’ equity interests and investment. The Company determined it has variable interests in the paint entity and SAEs with Equity as a result of its equity interest in these entities. For those SAEs without Equity that the Company has a (a) lease agreement for the aircraft which is the primary asset of these entities (the “lessor SAEs without Equity”), and (b) either (i) has a call option and/or (ii) a lessor put option for a fixed purchase price, it is determined that the Company has variable interests in the lessor SAEs without Equity. The Company then determines whether the entities that the Company has variable interests in are VIEs. ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, defines a VIE as an entity that either (i) lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; or (ii) whose equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Paint entity, SAEs with Equity and lessor SAEs without Equity are VIEs as they met at least one of the criteria above. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE through (a) power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The Company uses qualitative and quantitative analyses to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of VIEs including evaluation of (a) the purpose and design of the VIE, and (b) activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE. The Company also determines how decisions about significant activities are made in the VIE and the party or parties that make them. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because it acts as manager of the entities’ aircraft or retains control of the entity through terms in the leases, thereby giving it the power to direct activities of the entities that most significantly impact its economic performance. In addition, the Company either (a) has obligations to the losses of the VIEs and the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the entities as a result of its equity interests, or (b) is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in the VIEs due to the other equity holders of these VIEs, as a group, lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. |
