opportunities in North America,
and we have prepared over the last year to hit the ground running.
This is a major milestone in the evolution of our partnership
with ATSG."

leasing customers as part of our LeasePlus+ strategy, adding
incremental value to our aircraft leases," stated Paul Chase, chief commercial officer of ATSG,
