Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 5, 2005, FLYi, Inc. (NASDAQ/NM: FLYI) issued a news release concerning its preliminary first quarter 2005 financial and operating results. A copy of that release is attached as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
This filing on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements and is made as of May 5, 2005, and the company undertakes no obligation to update its disclosures, whether as a result of developments in its efforts, or as a result of any other new information, future events, changed expectations or otherwise, prior to its next required filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results of the company to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: the ability to increase operating revenues and reduce operating costs to maintain liquidity; the ability of Independence Air to effectively implement its low-fare business strategy utilizing regional jets and Airbus aircraft, and to compete effectively as a low-fare carrier, including passenger response to Independence Air’s new West Coast service, and the response of competitors with respect to service levels and fares in markets served by Independence Air; the effects of high fuel prices on the company’s costs, and the availability of fuel; the ability to successfully and timely complete the acquisition of, maintain certification for, meet pre-delivery payment obligations for, and secure financing of, its Airbus aircraft, and to successfully integrate these aircraft into its fleet; the costs of returning CRJ and J41 aircraft and related records to lessors consistent with terms agreed as part of the company’s restructuring efforts and the possibility of additional returns based on previously announced financial milestones under the terms of the restructuring; the ability to successfully remarket or otherwise make satisfactory arrangements for its nine J-41 aircraft not terminated as part of its restructuring and for three 328Jet aircraft not assigned to Delta; the ability to successfully hire, train and retain employees; the ability to reach and ratify an agreement with AMFA on mutually satisfactory terms; the ability to maintain listing of the company’s common stock on the NASDAQ National Market; changes in the competitive environment as a result of restructuring, realignment, or consolidations by the company’s competitors; the ongoing deterioration in the industry’s revenue environment; and general economic and industry conditions, any of which may impact Independence Air or the company, its aircraft manufacturers and its other suppliers in ways that the company is not currently able to predict. Certain of these and other risk factors are more fully disclosed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, “Risk Factors Affecting the Company”, and “Risk Factors Affecting the Airline Industry” in the company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.
