FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AIR T, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2010 RESULTS

MAIDEN, NC, June 8, 2010 - Air T, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: AIRT) announces consolidated net earnings of $3,757,000 ($1.54 per diluted share) for fiscal 2010, which ended March 31, 2010, compared to net earnings of $4,379,000 ($1.81 per diluted share) for fiscal 2009.

Consolidated revenue for fiscal 2010 was $81,077,000 compared to $90,668,000 for fiscal 2009.  This 11% decrease resulted from a $7,047,000 (18%) decrease in ground equipment sales revenue and a $4,016,000 (9%) decrease in air cargo revenue, partially offset by a $1,472,000 increase in ground support services revenue. The decrease in ground equipment sales revenue was attributed primarily to a decrease in the number of military deicer units sold.  The decrease in air cargo revenue was attributed to decreased pass through costs to its customer as a result of a reduction in the number of revenue aircraft operated over the past two years.  The increase in ground support services revenue is the result of the growth and expansion of this business as it has added new locations and customers.

The $622,000 decrease in fiscal 2010’s net earnings represented a 14% decrease from the prior year, which had been the highest annual earnings recorded by the Company.  The decrease is the result of decreased revenues and profitability in the Company’s most established operating segments, as well as a decrease in non-operating income.  At March 31, 2010, backlog was $1.3 million, compared to $8.4 million at March 31, 2009 and $5.7 million at December 31, 2009.  Backlog has improved to $6.6 million at May 31, 2010 and does not include a $3.7 million order from the U. S. Air Force received on June 4, 2010.

Walter Clark, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air T, commented, “After three consecutive years of record revenues and profits, our businesses experienced a decline in both in fiscal 2010, reflecting challenging economic and industry conditions.  While we are not pleased with the downturn, we are satisfied with our financial position at this time.  We have experienced both a slowing in the commercial deicer business and a decrease in the number of U.S. Air Force deicing orders in fiscal 2010.  On a positive note, operating levels at our air cargo delivery business stabilized as we saw no further reduction in the number of aircraft that we operate for FedEx this past quarter. ”

“In this uncertain economy, I want to reiterate that we are continuing our focus on conserving cash, controlling costs, tightening our credit policies and maintaining our customer and vendor relationships,” Clark continued.
