The company made a deal to purchase Pisek Airport in 2007, which took needed cash out of the manufacturing operation. The company was declared bankrupt on 9 November 2007, but managed to sell the airport and make a recovery.[2][3]

In July 2009 the manufacturing of the Allegro was moved to Roseburg, Oregon, USA, as part of X-Air Australia. The move was attributed to the high value of the Euro reducing sales to the USA and Australia.[4][5][6]
