EX-99. 2 rrd240088_28048.htm ATSG NOTIFIED BY DHL OF INTENT TO REACTIVATE CVG FACILITY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATSG notified by DHL of intent to reactivate CVG facility

WILMINGTON, OH - April 17, 2009 - Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATSG) said today that its subsidiary ABX Air bas been informed by DHL Express that it plans to move its U.S. gateway and national package sorting operations from Wilmington to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in Hebron, Ky.

ABX Air has provided air transport and package sorting services at the air park in Wilmington since 1980, first as a unit of Airborne Express and since 2003 as an independent company, operating under two commercial agreements with DHL. The ACMI Agreement, covering air transport services, renews automatically in August 2010 unless a one-year notice of termination is given by either party. The Hub Services Agreement renews annually in August unless a 90-day notice of termination is given by either party.

ATSG said it does not expect the DHL announcement to affect ABX Air's ACMI Agreement with DHL.

ABX Air will work with DHL to support the transition, which is expected to be completed when the Cincinnati-area facility begins operating in mid- to late summer. After the transition, ABX Air flights under the ACMI agreement will operate from the Cincinnati airport.

DHL has stated that all former and current employees at the Wilmington air park will be encouraged to apply for positions at the Cincinnati airport. ABX employees impacted by this move will receive the same severance package and assistance programs as employees previously laid-off as a result of the DHL restructuring program.
