3.We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 3 and reissue the comment
in part. Please expand to identify actions planned or taken by Surf Air and Southern, if
any, to mitigate inflationary pressures. In this regard, we note the disclosure on page 71
that assuming you do not enter into any future transactions to hedge your fuel
consumption, or otherwise fix your labor costs, you will continue to be fully exposed to
fluctuations in prices of material operating costs. We also note the disclosure on page
88 that although Southern continues to focus on mitigating these challenges, they are
expected to continue to impact financial results in the coming months.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
