Multi Faceted Regional Air Carrier Business For Sale

Business description

The March Group currently represents a very profitable regional air carrier offering passenger, mail, and freight services to a wide geographic area in the Pacific Northwest. Revenue for FYE 2009 reached $6.4 million, and the recent closure of a major competitor has minimized competition, yielding significant development opportunities. EBITDA for FYE 2009 topped $1.02 million which represents a 16.1% EBITDA margin. Pro-forma projections through 2013 favor revenue growth of 13% each year thereafter. Boasts over 50 years of safe and dedicated service to the local community. Schedules flights to 23 surrounding area, and geographic expansion could easily be achieved by opening new hubs in additional areas. Presently operating in 19 mail markets, the Company expects to qualify for an additional 4 in the near future. Averages approximately 28 flights per day to carry 144 passengers and 6,670 pounds of mail. Currently holding operating leases on all of its Cessna 207 and 172 aircraft. The Company occupies a 7,100 square foot passenger terminal, and a 12,000 square foot hanger; the hanger is available for lease or purchase. Freight service offers an avenue for great potential growth, as there is very limited competition in the market. Marketing efforts have been limited to minimal local advertising and word-of-mouth referrals; increased efforts would immediately accelerate growth over a short period of time.
