     FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



     MAIDEN, NC - Air T, Inc. (AirT) (NASDAQ: AIRT) today reported
that J. Hugh Bingham has decided to resign as an officer and
director of AirT.  Mr. Bingham formerly served as President and
Chief Operating Officer of AirT.



     In recognition of his service, AirT will pay Mr. Bingham
$300,000 over the next year.  In return, Mr. Bingham has
relinquished his retirement and other contractual benefits.



     Mr. Bingham had served for many years as Chief Executive
Officer of AirT's former Mountain Aircraft Services subsidiary.
Substantially all  oof the assets of this subsidiary were sold by
the Company in August of 2003.



     Walter Clark, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
of AirT, noted that Mr. Bingham's service with Air T dates back over
20 years.   Mr. Clark stated that "Hugh was a long-time friend and
business associate of my father, David Clark, and was instrumental
in building the company.  We wish him great success as he moves on
to other pursuits."



     The Company also agreed with Mr. Bingham to buy back his
118,480 shares of Air T common stock (representing 4.3% of the
outstanding common stock) for a price of $4.5432 per share (80% of
the January 5, 2004 closing price of $5.679 on the NASDAQ SmallCap
Market).  The redemption will occur in three stages, with one-third
of the stock being redeemed on each of January 12, 2004, the week of
July 5, 2004 and the week of January 3, 2005.



     AirT, through its subsidiaries, provides overnight air freight
service to the express delivery industry and manufactures and
services aviation and other specialized equipment.  AirT is one of
the largest small aircraft air cargo operators in the United States
and currently operates a fleet of single and twin engine turbo-prop
aircraft nightly in the eastern half of the United States and
Canada, South America, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
