Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 19, 2022, Air Wisconsin Airlines LLC ("Air Wisconsin"), which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Harbor Diversified, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a new five year capacity purchase agreement with American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), pursuant to which Air Wisconsin has agreed to provide up to 60 CRJ-200 regional jet aircraft for regional airline services for American (the "Agreement"). The capacity purchase agreement currently in effect between Air Wisconsin and United Airlines, Inc. is expected to terminate in accordance with its terms.

Regional Airline Services

Initially, Air Wisconsin will provide regional airline services for American primarily based at Chicago O'Hare, one of American's key domestic hubs, with possible future expansion to other hubs. Air Wisconsin's flights will be operated as American Eagle.

American will pay Air Wisconsin fixed daily revenue for each aircraft covered under the Agreement (subject to Air Wisconsin's ability to meet certain block hour utilization thresholds), a fixed payment for each departure, and a fixed payment for each block hour flown, in each case subject to annual increases during the term of the Agreement based on a fixed payment schedule. Air Wisconsin will also be eligible to receive incentive compensation, and will be required to pay rebates, upon the achievement of, or failure to achieve, certain pre-established performance criteria.

Air Wisconsin is responsible for certain customary costs relating to the flight operation and maintenance of the covered aircraft along with other customary controllable expenses, including expenses associated with flight crews, line maintenance and overhead. American will reimburse Air Wisconsin for certain customary costs and expenses incurred in connection with Air Wisconsin's flight operations, including fuel, ground handling, landing and air traffic control, changes to livery and branding, aircraft and passenger liability insurance, property taxes and systems support.

American has the right to schedule all aircraft covered by the Agreement, including determining route selection and frequency, and the timing of scheduled arrivals and departures, in each case subject to certain scheduling parameters. American also has the right to determine and publish fares and to establish seat inventories, overbooking levels, and allocation of seats among fare categories. Furthermore, American will provide all ground handling services, including gate and ticket counter activities, baggage handling, cargo handling, aircraft loading/unloading services, passenger ticketing, and aircraft cabin cleaning.

American has the right to all revenues resulting from the sale of passenger tickets associated with the covered aircraft and all other sources of revenue associated with the operation of the covered aircraft, including revenues relating to baggage charges, food and beverage sales and ticket change fees.

The Agreement provides that the parties may discuss the possibility of adding CRJ-700 regional jets to Air Wisconsin's fleet for the purpose of providing regional airline services under the Agreement, but neither party is under any obligation with respect to these additional aircraft.

Covered Aircraft

Up to 40 CRJ-200 regional aircraft will initially be covered by the Agreement, subject to an implementation schedule whereby a specified number of aircraft will become available each month commencing in March of 2023 and continuing through October 2023. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Air Wisconsin can accelerate the implementation schedule.

Air Wisconsin may also add up to 20 CRJ-200s as covered aircraft under the Agreement subject to satisfying certain minimum block hour utilization thresholds (resulting in an aggregate of up to 60 covered aircraft under the Agreement). Except as otherwise permitted in the Agreement, the aircraft covered by the Agreement may only be used by Air Wisconsin to provide regional airline services for American and may not be used by Air Wisconsin for any other purpose, including flight operations for any other airline. In addition, Air Wisconsin is subject to certain limitations on its ability to use aircraft not covered by the Agreement in certain passenger operations.

     •    American has the right to terminate the Agreement or withdraw certain
