Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Subsidiary Wins Second Aircraft Agreement with Panalpina Air & Ocean Extending Long-term Relationship

Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (AAWW) (Nasdaq: AAWW), a leading global provider of air cargo assets and outsourced aircraft operating solutions, today confirmed an agreement to place a second Boeing 747-400 freighter with Panalpina Air & Ocean Ltd.

The multi-year agreement, under which Atlas Air will provide ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) services to Panalpina, was announced on the 20^th anniversary of Panalpina’s "Dixie Jet” freighter service connecting Huntsville, Ala., with Europe, which is also operated by a B747-400 Freighter leased from Atlas Air.

The second aircraft, to be based at Panalpina’s European hub in Luxembourg, will operate services from Asia and Africa to Europe; Europe to Africa, the Middle East and Asia; and from Asia to the United States. It is set to begin operating in early October.

Panalpina and Atlas Air have a successful track record of working together for almost two decades. "On a day where we celebrate a long-standing relationship with one of the world’s leading suppliers of freight forwarding and logistics services, it’s only fitting that we confirm a further commitment to serve Panalpina and its customers with state-of-the-art, high-quality capacity and time-definite service,” said William J.
