With the statement came a short statement from the desk of Chief Financial Officer Matt Reichelderfer.

“While our profit grew for this month, it must be noted that a large chunk of this profit comes from the sale of our Boeing 757-200W fleet. If this sale is taken away MetroAir’s profit decreased from last month. This can be directly attributed to the discontinuation of the 757 fleet, and with it the majority of our long haul European operations.

However, with the elimination of our 757 fleet, we have managed to reduce cost by running an all Airbus Fleet. We have also replaced revenue that was lost with the discontinuation of service to Europe with the entry into service of the Airbus A320. The majority of those airframes were put into service on Domestic flights.

While this month our profit margin shrunk, we must remember that this is just some minor growing pains. We plan on developing our Domestic route structure even further, and reinforce operations out of Fort Lauderdale and Kansas City. These two cities will be key in MetroAir’s continued financial success.”

“MetroAir has seen a good amount of growth since the last financial statement was released.  The airline has basically changed it’s entire fleet to respond to a dynamically changing economic environment.  With the addition of new fleet types came the addition of routes, placing our airline in perfect position to compete even with the larger “brand name” airlines in America.  As you can read for yourself in our financial statement for this month we are in an excellent position to grow and expand into new airports in the future.”

In the previous years there was much speculation about the financial health of the airline as the airline had not released financial data for months. This release seems to have dispelled many of the rumors, and confirmed that MetroAir is in a good financial position to continue its growth in the coming years.
