DayJet Reaches Major Financial Milestone in Preparation for Service Launch.

Secures $140 Million in Debt Financing

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- DayJet Corporation announced today that it has closed debt facilities totaling $140 million for the acquisition of its fleet of Eclipse 500[TM] very light jets (VLJs). The facilities include senior debt on the aircraft and financing

of pre-delivery deposits. Combined with previous rounds of private equity financing, DayJet has raised more than $200 million to date, placing it among the best capitalized pre-operational passenger air carriers in American aviation history.

"Securing this initial debt facility is a significant milestone for DayJet, as it enables us to continue the uninterrupted growth of the world's first commercial VLJ fleet," said Ed Iacobucci, DayJet president and CEO. "This new fleet, in combination with our continued success in recruiting and training a team of exceptional aviation professionals, keeps DayJet on target to launch commercial operations in the coming weeks."
