  • The plan aims to preserve the company’s piston, King Air, and military aircraft sectors, with the highest-margin option being the elimination of all bizjet production.
  • This restructuring will wipe out $2.5 billion in debt and $125 million in annual interest liabilities, with the company hoping to emerge independently despite having received purchase offers.
