Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 2 Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this presentation contain forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that are inherently difficult to predict. Words such as “projects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “will,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward- looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this presentation and address activities events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. Although we believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. We caution all readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that those statements will be realized or the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. There are a number of important factors that could cause Air Transport Services Group's ("ATSG's") actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in market demand for our assets and services; our operating airlines' ability to maintain on-time service and control costs; the cost and timing with respect to which we are able to purchase and modify aircraft to a cargo configuration; fluctuations in ATSG's traded share price, which may result in mark-to-market charges on certain financial instruments; the number, timing and scheduled routes of our aircraft deployments to customers; and other factors (including those listed under the heading “Risk Factors”) that are contained from time to time in ATSG's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully review this presentation and should not place undue reliance on ATSG's forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates as of the date of this presentation. ATSG undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes. 2

Non-GAAP Reconciliation Statement 17  Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Debt Obligations / Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, and Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP  Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations is defined as Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes plus net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, pension settlement costs, debt issuance charges from non-consolidating affiliates, and lease incentive amortization. It excludes the net effect of financial instrument gains and losses, and of non-service components of retiree benefit costs  Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations is defined as Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes plus pension settlement costs, debt issuance charges from non-consolidating affiliates, and lease incentive amortization. It excludes the net effect of financial instrument gains and losses, and of non-service components of retiree benefit costs  Management uses Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Debt Obligations/Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, and Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations to assess the performance of its operating results among periods. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, or as an alternative measure of liquidity * Debt Obligations / Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is defined as Debt Obligations (Long-term Debt Obligations plus Current Portion of Debt Obligations at end of period) divided by Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, rolling four quarters. 2013 2014 2015 2016 9M 2016 9M 2017 (359)$ 51,776$ 62,563$ 34,454$ 34,034$ (53,107)$ Impairment Charges 52,585 - - - - - Non-service components retiree benefit costs, net (2,716) (1,452) (1,040) 6,815 6,609 5,883 Non-consolidating aff iliate charges - - - 1,229 1,229 945 Lease Incentive Amortization - - - 4,506 2,366 9,760 Financial Instruments Loss (Gain) (631) (1,096) (920) 18,107 3,443 100,213 48,879 49,228 60,603 65,111 47,681 63,694 Interest Income (74) (92) (85) (131) (98) (85) Interest Expense 14,249 13,937 11,232 11,318 8,229 11,658 Depreciation and amortization 91,749 108,254 125,443 135,496 99,605 111,828 154,803$ 171,327$ 197,193$ 211,794$ 155,417$ 187,095$ 384,515$ 344,094$ 317,658$ 458,721$ 2.48 2.01 1.61 2.17 Reconciliation Stmt.
