“We are not shutting down,” said Mooney CFO Barry Hodkin in a statement. “However, we cannot continue to subsidise the company at the level we have in the recent past. We have been in discussions with potential investors for more than 18 months and will continue to work with them. If things change then the scope of this layoff could change. We will continue to protect Mooney’s assets both tangible and intangible. Those assets include the facilities and our certificates for production and manufacturing.”
The company says it intends to continue to provide spares and technical support to existing owners.
