FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AIR T, INC. REPORTS UNAUDITED FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

MAIDEN, NC - Air T, Inc. (AirT) (NASDAQ: AIRT) today reported consolidated
net earnings of $349,000 ($0.13 per diluted share) for fiscal 2004's first
quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to a consolidated net loss of $161,000
(($0.06) per diluted share) for the similar period in fiscal 2003.  Fiscal
2004's net earnings was comprised of $444,000 ($0.16 per diluted share) in
earnings from continuing operations, offset by a $95,000 (($0.03) per diluted
share) loss from discontinued operations

The Company decided to dispose of its aviation parts brokerage and overhaul
services through its wholly owned subsidiary Mountain Aircraft Services, LLC
("MAS") during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.  Company management
entered into a letter of intent on June 19, 2003 to sell the business
operations of MAS.  As detailed in Financial Highlights below, the operations
of MAS have been reclassified to reflect its results as a discontinued
operation in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated revenues from continuing operations increased $858,000 (8.4%) to
$11,056,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same quarter
in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in current period revenues primarily
resulted from a $663,000 (10.0%) increase in air cargo revenues to $7,285,000
and an increase in ground equipment revenues of $195,000 (5.5%) to $3,771,000.

Walter Clark, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AirT, commented,
"These first quarter earnings are a solid beginning to the current fiscal
year.  The $500,000 swing in earnings over the prior year first quarter is
impressive testimony to the work of the AirT team.  We have set the stage to
take advantage of improving market conditions as they occur.  Our continuing
goal is to provide our shareholders with the best possible value."

The Company's continuing operations operate in two business segments.  AirT,
through its subsidiaries, provides overnight air freight service to the
express delivery industry, and manufactures and services aircraft ground
support and special service equipment.  AirT is one of the largest, small-
aircraft air cargo operators in the United States.  It currently operates a
fleet of single and twin engine turbo-prop aircraft nightly in the eastern
half of the United States and Canada, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Statements in this press release, which contain more than historical
information may be considered forward-looking statements (as such term is
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) which are
subject to risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially
from those expressed in the forward-looking statements because of important
potential risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to obtaining
requisite consents from third parties, the parties reaching a definitive
agreement to reflect the understanding expressed in the letter of intent and
completion of the sale of the business of MAS on these terms.  A forward-
looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or
circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur.  We
are under no obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update
or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
