Harrowgate Air Cargo is flagged ELEVATED on cross-source disagreement, not on any single score.
The modeled credit signal reads stable: FRISK 7/10 with a 12-month distress probability of 1.1%.
Operational ground truth disagrees: Form 41 load factor has fallen from 78% to 61% over seven quarters, block hours are down 34% year over year, and a third of the fleet has been parked for more than 60 days.
Because Harrowgate does not participate in the confidential statement exchange, no audited financials are available; every financial metric on this page is inferred and graded accordingly (confidence C).
With only 12% of forward fuel hedged against 34% fuel share of operating cost, a fuel-price shock would compound the utilization decline.
COMPASS surfaces this disagreement as the finding rather than averaging the signals into a composite; recommend requesting statement participation or increased monitoring cadence before the next award cycle.
