  AUTHORIZATION BY PHILLIP GOLDSTEIN, ANDREW DAKOS AND PACIFIC
   COAST INVESTMENT PARTNERS, LP TO CALL A SPECIAL MEETING OF
              STOCKHOLDERS OF AIRNET SYSTEMS, INC.

Our names are Phillip Goldstein, Andrew Dakos and Pacific Coast
Investment Fund, L.P. ("PCI Fund").  James M. Chadwick.  We are
stockhareholders of Airnet Systems, Inc. ("Airnet").  We are
sending this soliciting material to stockholders of Airnet of
record as ofon April 11--, 2005, a date we arbitrarily selected.
We are soliciting your authorization to request that a special
meeting of stockholders be held to remove all five of the
Airnet's directors and to elect their replacements.  In each of
the last six years, an annual meeting to elect all directors for
one year has been been called in April and held no later than
June 4.  Under Airnet's code of regulations, which are attached
hereto as Exhibit 1, stockholders may remove any director for
cause at any time and elect a replacement.  We believe the
directors should be removed and their replacements We believe
that a special meeting is necessary elected because the
directorsy have effectively extended their tenure unilaterally by
failinged to address and remedy serious concerns relating to the
direction and management of the Company.  They have also failed
to confirm that they will timely call an annual meeting the
shareholdersstockholders this year to elect directors, which such
meeting has historically been called in April of the relevant
year., or provide a valid business reason why such a meeting
should be delayed; other than for the purpose of preventing the
shareholders from having a voice in and voting on the governance
of their company.  If a special meeting is called, we intend to
distribute a notice of the meeting to stockhareholders (unless
management does so) and to solicit proxies to remove the
directors and to elect nominees whom we have not yet selected to
be elected to replace them.  In connection with that proposal we
intend to distributeOur proxy soliciting material that will set
forth in full the reasons for removing the existing directors and
replacing them with our nominees.
..
This authorization statement and the enclosed authorization card
are first being sent to stockhareholders of Airnet on or about
May 4--, 2005.

If you return an authorization card to us or to our agentin the
enclosed self-addressed envelope, your shares will be aggregated

special meeting of stockholders must be held if requested by
stockthe holders of at least 50% of all outstanding shares (which
totaled 10,118,583 as of March 28, 2005).  You may revoke your
authorization by delivering a written revocation to us or to our
agentat any time.  However, if and when .  If and when we have
received unrevoked authorization cards from the stockholders
owningof at least 50% of all outstanding shares, , we intend to
promptly deliver them to Airnet's management which is then
required to, within fifteen days, to fix a meeting date.  If
management does not fix a meeting date within fifteen days, then,
as allowed in the code of regulations, we shall fix a meeting
date as set forth in Airnet's code of regulations.  If a special
meeting is called, we intend to distribute a notice of the
meeting to shareholders (unless management does so) and to
