Mr. Joe Etchart, Chairman of Alpine Air's Board of Directors, stated, "Our aircraft, pilots and staff are busy. Our management team expects this trend to continue. To enable our company to further grow and develop new routes, we found it advantageous to expand our fleet, continue to pursue fuel hedging programs and vigorously compete within our regions. After increasing our lift capacity by 22,000 pounds, we are excited about the additional revenue opportunities and drive future profitability."
Mr. Gene Mallette, Alpine Air's CEO, added, "Our management team believes there are major opportunities available for organic growth. These additional aircraft enable us to better fly our existing routes and seize new market share."
