Sheltair Aviation CEO, Jerry Holland, stated, “This is a significant accomplishment for our company. The facility provides the financial resources under the optimal capital structure necessary to pursue our strategic plans for our growing network of bases.”
Agent SunTrust Bank and sole lead arranger SunTrust Robinson Humphrey coordinated the financing with eight participant banks.
