Twin-Jet Aircraft Becomes Second Type in Company’s History


Press Release: Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. – 1 hour 48 minutes ago
PURCHASE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAWW - News), a leading
global provider of outsourced aircraft and aviation operating services, today announced that its Atlas Air, Inc. unit has
received approval from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Commercial Airlift Review Board (CARB) to provide B767-
300ER passenger airlift service for the DoD.


The twin-jet 767 becomes the second aircraft type in the company’s history, joining an industry-leading fleet of Boeing 747
freighters and passenger aircraft.


To operate the new aircraft family, Atlas Air has also achieved 180-minute Extended Twin-Engine Operations (ETOPS)
certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, allowing for the aircraft’s optimal routing on trans-Atlantic
flights. ETOPS approval requires a rigorous review of the company’s operations and successful implementation of
additional operational and flight-crew procedures. Flight crews and maintenance teams operating Atlas Air’s 767s are
qualified and trained for ETOPS.


“The Boeing 767-300ER provides additional flexibility in our fleet as we continue to diversify the services we offer our
customers,” said William J. Flynn, President and Chief Executive Office of Atlas Air Worldwide.


“A new aircraft type is an important milestone for our company and complements our growth strategies. As a long-time
operator of four-engine aircraft, we’re especially pleased to achieve CARB approval and ETOPS certification for our twin-jet
aircraft, demonstrating that our continual focus on safety, reliability and operational excellence transcends aircraft types.”


The company’s 767-300ER (for Extended Range) aircraft, configured for 255 Economy Class seats, will primarily transport
U.S. military personnel domestically and internationally. The aircraft, along with two company-owned passenger 747-400s,
are also available for commercial charters, providing customers with flexible seating-capacity alternatives.


Atlas Air expects to place a third 767 into service during the first half of 2012.


Atlas Air initiated B747-400 passenger service for the DoD in May 2011.


With the 767, Atlas Air is the only outsource provider of aircraft and aviation operating services offering the new Boeing
747-8 freighter, 747-400 freighter and passenger versions, and the 767-300ER to its global customers.
