Jet Logistics Inc. Expands Maintenance with PremAir Aviation 145CRS Acquisition
.............................................................................................................................................

November 18, 2011 (Charlotte, NC) - Jet Logistics Inc. (JLI), North Carolina's largest Part 135 Air Carrier founded and based in the "First in Flight" state, plans to significantly expand its Maintenance operations. The company announced the immediate acquisition by its Founder/President, W. Ashley Smith, Jr., of PremAir Aviation Services, LLC., an FAA 145 Certified Repair Station based at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (KCLT) that services Part 91, 135 and 121 customers.

Mr. Smith is also pleased to confirm that PremAir founder and President Patrick Croghan will remain with the 145CRS as Director of Maintenance. Existing PremAir customers should experience no immediate interruptions or changes in service and the company will remain at its current location.

Jet Logistics coordinates its diverse domestic and international passenger charter, AirEMS™ and GovOps™ services from bases in Charlotte and Raleigh, NC.

RE: GOALS WITH PREMAIR TRANSACTION, JET LOGISTICS TECHNICAL SERVICES
"This is a strategic acquisition designed to accomplish several key goals, including expanding our in-house abilities to efficiently and cost-effectively service our existing fleet of managed aircraft clients.
