Changes in Passenger Charter Services
On June 13, 2005, AirNet Systems, Inc. (AirNet) received a facsimile copy of a letter, dated
June 14, 2005, from a managed aircraft owner indicating that, effective July 14, 2005, the owner
was canceling the agreements under which Jetride, Inc., AirNets wholly-owned subsidiary
(Jetride), manages a Model 60 Learjet and a Model 604 Challenger aircraft for the owner. On June
17, 2005, AirNet received a letter, dated that same day, from a second managed aircraft owner
indicating that, effective July 22, 2005, the owner was canceling the agreement under which Jetride
manages a Model 601 Challenger aircraft for the owner. Jetride operates these three managed
aircraft as part of its Passenger Charter fleet.
The Passenger Charter services revenues from the three managed aircraft represented
approximately $2.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and approximately $2.6
million for the most recent quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Challenger 601 and Challenger 604
aircraft were managed by AirNet for only a portion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
AirNet has been able to identify direct cost reductions related to the elimination of these three
managed aircraft from Jetrides Passenger Charter fleet of approximately 91% of the revenues lost.
On June 17, 2005, Robert L. Austin submitted his resignation as Senior Vice President, Jetride
Services. AirNet accepted Mr. Austins resignation effective on the date it was submitted. In
addition, three other members of Jetrides management submitted their resignations, two of which
were accepted by AirNet effective as of June 17, 2005 and one of which was accepted by AirNet
effective as of June 28, 2005. Wynn D. Petersen, AirNets Vice President, Strategic Planning and
Analysis, has assumed the operating responsibilities for Jetride that were formerly performed by
Mr. Austin.
