While moving one of our critical systems to a newly rebuilt server, we experienced a server outage that resulted in approximately 1,700 flight cancellations. We estimate the impact of the outage negatively impacted our 2021 financial results by approximately $16 million (pre-tax). Approximately half of the loss we incurred in 2021 from this incident was recovered through our cyber insurance policy during the year ended December 31, 2023. Based on our assessment, we do not believe the incident has or will materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face certain ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See "Risk Factors – Cybersecurity incidents, hardware or software failures or other information technology disruptions may negatively impact our operations, reputation and financial condition."

text: The information security team monitors security alerts from information security research sources and peer networking, and we have implemented processes and technologies for monitoring our networks for exfiltration of sensitive company information. Before contracting with third parties or purchasing third party technology or other solutions that involve exposure to sensitive company information the team assesses vendor risk, including by requesting SOC2 reports and/or security documentation from a vendor, where appropriate, and we receive and review security updates and alerts from these third parties. Penetration testing is performed periodically across our network boundaries to identify issues for remediation. Additionally, we maintain off-site back-ups and disaster recovery plans to restore our information and systems in the event of a disruptive event.
