Benefits and Perquisites

Employee Benefits

AirNet’s executive officers are entitled to participate in the AirNet Systems, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Retirement Savings Plan”) on the same terms as all other employees. The Retirement Savings Plan, which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, is a broad-based defined contribution plan under which amounts are paid to the individuals only upon retirement, termination of employment, disability or death. AirNet does not maintain any pension or other retirement plans. Employees participating in the Retirement Savings Plan may contribute a portion of their compensation to the Retirement Savings Plan up to the maximum limits permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. AirNet may also make matching employer contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan, which are determined annually by the Board. For the 2007 fiscal year, AirNet made a matching contribution to the Retirement Savings Plan equal to 50% of the first 6% of compensation contributed to the Retirement Savings Plan by each participating employee. The matching contributions made by AirNet to the Retirement Savings Plan on behalf of Bruce D. Parker, Gary W. Qualmann, Jeffery B. Harris and Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. with respect to the 2007 fiscal year and the 2006 fiscal year are included in the Summary Compensation Table for 2007 above.

AirNet provides all employees, including executive officers, with the opportunity to participate in various health and welfare benefit programs, including medical, dental, life and short-term disability insurance. AirNet shares the cost of these benefit programs with its employees.

Reimbursement of Life Insurance Premiums

AirNet reimburses each executive officer for certain insurance premiums paid by him to maintain a term insurance policy on his life. The insurance benefits payable under each life insurance policy range from $300,000 to $500,000 for the executive officer, other than the Chief Executive Officer. The insurance benefits payable under Mr. Parker’s life insurance policy are set at $1,000,000. The executive officer is not required to name AirNet as the beneficiary on the insurance policy and AirNet is not entitled to any of the proceeds payable under the policy. The actual amount reimbursed to each executive officer is equal to the amount of the premium paid to maintain the insurance policy, plus an amount sufficient to offset all federal, state and local income taxes incurred by the executive officer with respect to the amount reimbursed. The amounts reimbursed to Bruce D. Parker, Gary W. Qualmann, Jeffery B. Harris and Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. during the 2007 fiscal year and the 2006 fiscal year under this program are included in the Summary Compensation Table for 2007 above. Mr. Parker did not receive compensation during the 2007 fiscal year or the 2006 fiscal year for this benefit.

Reimbursement of Travel and Living Expenses

AirNet reimburses Bruce D. Parker and Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. for, or pays directly on their behalf, certain non-business travel and living expenses incurred while in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area. These reimbursements and payments are provided to offset Mr. Parker’s and Mr. Glasscock’s travel and living expenses while in Columbus, Ohio and away from their primary residences located, respectively, in Coral Gables, Florida and Dallas, Texas. Under the terms of their respective employment agreements, Mr. Parker and Mr. Glasscock were not required to change their primary residence as a condition of employment.

Under the terms of Mr. Parker’s employment agreement, AirNet is required to reimburse Mr. Parker for the cost of maintaining an apartment in the Columbus area, maintenance and utilities related to such apartment, and all reasonable living expenses incurred by Mr. Parker while he is in Columbus, including meals. In addition, under Mr. Parker’s employment agreement, AirNet reimburses Mr. Parker for all reasonable travel expenses (at coach rates) incurred by Mr. Parker between his residence and Columbus. In lieu of reimbursing Mr. Parker for certain travel and living expenses, including the rental on his apartment, AirNet may pay such expenses directly. The amounts reimbursed to Mr. Parker and the amount of any payments made directly by AirNet on Mr. Parker’s behalf, are reported by AirNet as compensation to Mr. Parker. Any reimbursements made to Mr. Parker or payments made directly on his behalf are grossed up to offset all federal, state and local income taxes incurred by Mr. Parker with respect to such reimbursements or payments. The aggregate amount of non-business living and travel expenses AirNet reimbursed to Mr. Parker or paid on his behalf during the 2007 fiscal year and the 2006 fiscal year is included in the Summary Compensation Table for 2007 above.

AirNet reimburses Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. for, or pays directly on his behalf, certain non-business travel and living expenses while in the Columbus area. AirNet pays the cost of maintaining an apartment in the Columbus area for Mr. Glasscock, including rent, maintenance and utilities related to such apartment. AirNet also reimburses Mr. Glasscock for other reasonable living expenses he incurs while he is in Columbus, including temporary rental cars and meals. Amounts reimbursed to Mr. Glasscock, and the amount of any payments made directly by AirNet on Mr. Glasscock’s behalf, have

been reported by AirNet as compensation to Mr. Glasscock. Any reimbursements made to Mr. Glasscock or payments made directly on his behalf are grossed up to offset all federal, state and local income taxes incurred by the Mr. Glasscock with respect to such reimbursements or payments. The aggregate amount of non-business living and travel expenses AirNet reimbursed to Mr. Glasscock or paid on his behalf during each of the 2007 and 2006 fiscal years is shown in the Summary Compensation Table above. Prior to the 2006 fiscal year and Mr. Glasscock’s decision to retain his residence in Dallas, Texas, reimbursements to Mr. Glasscock were considered business expenses of AirNet and were not included in Mr. Glasscock’s compensation.

Employment Contracts and Other Arrangements Providing for Payments Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

AirNet has entered into employment agreements with each of Bruce D. Parker, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President; Jeffery B. Harris, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; and Larry M. Glasscock, Jr., Senior Vice President, Express Services. These agreements are designed to provide these officers with a minimum level of financial and employment security. Each employment agreement establishes a minimum base salary to be paid to the executive officer, which the Compensation Committee may increase, but not decrease.

AirNet does not maintain a formal severance plan designed to provide post-employment compensation to employees upon termination of employment. However, under the terms of their respective agreements, Bruce D. Parker, Jeffery B. Harris and Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. are entitled to certain severance benefits in the event their employment is terminated by AirNet “without cause” or by the executive officer for “good reason,” as those terms are defined in their respective agreements. In addition, Mr. Parker is entitled to certain severance benefits in the event he voluntarily terminates his employment in connection with the transition to a new chief executive officer selected by the Board.

The terms of the agreements with Messrs. Parker, Harris and Glasscock, including payments upon change of control and termination of employment, are more thoroughly discussed below.

AirNet recognizes that, in certain circumstances, it may be necessary or appropriate to provide for a separation arrangement that is different from that originally contemplated when an employment relationship began. AirNet entered into such an arrangement with Gary W. Qualmann. As discussed below, AirNet and Mr. Qualmann entered into a separation agreement and general release, dated as of October 3, 2007, which provided for his resignation from the positions he held with AirNet and terminated his employment agreement with AirNet dated as of May 3, 2005. This separation agreement is more thoroughly described below.

Employment Agreement for Bruce D. Parker

In connection with the election of Bruce D. Parker as AirNet’s Chief Executive Officer and President on December 28, 2006, AirNet and Mr. Parker entered into an employment agreement. The original term of Mr. Parker’s employment agreement was one year beginning December 28, 2006. The term of his employment agreement is automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless the Board notifies him that the term will not be extended at least 90 days prior to the end of the relevant term. The Board did not give Mr. Parker notice of the non-renewal of his employment agreement, and consequently his employment agreement was renewed for an additional one-year period. Mr. Parker’s employment agreement expressly permits Mr. Parker to continue to own and operate his existing consulting company during the term of his employment.

Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Parker receives an annual base salary of $360,000, which is reviewed annually and may be increased, but not decreased without Mr. Parker’s written consent, by the Board. This salary is in effect for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (the “2008 fiscal year”). Additionally, Mr. Parker received a sign-on bonus of $125,000 and is eligible for an annual bonus of up to 100% of his annual base salary, based upon the attainment of annual performance goals. The annual bonus, if any, will be paid in two installments, with the first based upon a target of 50% of his base salary and the attainment of goals for the period of January 1st through June 30th, and the second based upon a target of the remaining 50% of his base salary and the attainment of goals from July 1st through December 31st. Mr. Parker’s aggregate bonus for the 2007 fiscal year was $205,200 as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for 2007 above. Additionally, Mr. Parker was granted options to purchase 150,000 common shares of AirNet under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $2.95 per share, the closing price of AirNet’s common shares on December 28, 2006. The options vested as to 75,000 of the common shares on the grant date, and as to the remaining 75,000 common shares on December 27, 2007.

During the term of his employment agreement, Mr. Parker is entitled to receive all fringe benefits provided to AirNet’s senior executives, and will receive four weeks of vacation annually. As previously noted, AirNet will provide Mr. Parker with an apartment in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area and will reimburse him for his reasonable living expenses while in

Columbus and his reasonable travel expenses (at coach rates) between his home and Columbus. The reimbursement and payment of these living and travel expenses will be grossed-up for federal income tax purposes.

If Mr. Parker’s employment is terminated due to his death or his disability (as defined in his employment agreement), he is terminated for cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or he voluntarily terminates his employment, he or his beneficiary will be entitled to receive any accrued and unpaid base salary, the value of unused vacation, the value of unreimbursed expenses, and any rights to which Mr. Parker is entitled under AirNet’s benefit plans and programs, paid in accordance with such plans and programs. If Mr. Parker’s employment had terminated voluntarily as of December 31, 2007 or due to his death or disability or for cause, the amounts he or his beneficiary would have received in respect of the items described in this paragraph would have been approximately $85,000.

If Mr. Parker’s employment is terminated without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement), in addition to receiving all of the payments discussed in the preceding paragraph related to a voluntary termination of employment, all outstanding equity awards held by him will immediately vest in full and he will receive, within 30 days of the date of termination of employment, a lump-sum payment equal to 12 months’ base salary. Based upon Mr. Parker’s salary in effect on December 31, 2007, as of such date such lump-sum payment would have been $360,000. If Mr. Parker voluntarily terminates his employment in connection with the transition to a new chief executive officer selected by the Board or Mr. Parker’s employment agreement expires without being renewed, Mr. Parker will receive all of the payments discussed in the preceding paragraph related to a voluntary termination of employment, all outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and he will receive, within 30 days of the date of termination of employment, a lump-sum payment equal to six months’ base salary, which would have been $180,000 at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007, all of Mr. Parker’s options were vested so no awards would have been accelerated.

“Cause” is defined in Mr. Parker’s employment agreement to include: (i) intentionally causing AirNet or any of its affiliates to violate a law which is reasonable grounds for serious civil or criminal penalties against AirNet, an affiliate or the Board; (ii) committing fraud or acting with intentional misconduct or gross negligence in carrying out his duties under his employment agreement which has caused demonstrable and serious injury to AirNet; (iii) being convicted of any crime involving moral turpitude or a violation of federal or state securities laws; or (iv) intentionally committing a material breach of any material covenant, provision, term or condition in his employment agreement and, if the breach is capable of being cured, failing to cure the same within 10 days of written notice of the breach from the Board.

The following events qualify as “good reason” for Mr. Parker to terminate his employment: (i) Mr. Parker is not nominated as a director during the term of his employment agreement; (ii) the Board significantly and adversely changes the nature or scope of Mr. Parker’s authority, powers, functions, duties or responsibilities; (iii) without Mr. Parker’s prior consent, there is a substantial and continued reduction in the level of support services, staff, secretarial and other assistance to a level below that which is reasonably necessary for the performance of Mr. Parker’s duties; (iv) AirNet commits a material breach of any material covenant, provision, term or condition in his employment agreement and, if the breach is capable of being cured, fails to cure the same within 10 days of written notice of the breach from Mr. Parker; or (v) without Mr. Parker’s prior consent, AirNet fails to keep in place director and officer liability insurance covering Mr. Parker under substantially the same terms and in substantially the same amount as in existence prior to December 28, 2006.

Mr. Parker’s employment agreement also provides for certain payments to Mr. Parker following a “change in control” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Upon a change in control, Mr. Parker will be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment equal to 12 months of his base salary in effect as of the date of such change in control. Payment of such amount is not conditioned upon Mr. Parker’s termination of employment following a change in control and is required to be made within 30 days of the change in control. Based upon Mr. Parker’s salary in effect on December 31, 2007, the lump-sum payment would have been $360,000 had a change in control occurred on such date. In addition, all outstanding equity awards held by Mr. Parker will immediately vest in full upon a change in control and, for purposes of exercising such option awards, any subsequent termination of employment by Mr. Parker will be treated as a retirement under the terms of the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2007, all of Mr. Parker’s options had vested so no awards would have been accelerated on a change in control.

In the event the Board approves a strategic alternative that is completed based upon Mr. Parker’s efforts, Mr. Parker will be deemed to have met all his financial objectives and personal goals established for him under AirNet’s then current Incentive Compensation Plan for the six-month incentive compensation period in which the strategic alternative is completed. In such event, Mr. Parker will be entitled to receive his maximum incentive compensation target established under the then current Incentive Compensation Plan for such six-month period, prorated from the first day of such six-month period to the date the strategic alternative is completed. Such payment would be subject to, and made in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the then current Incentive Compensation Plan applicable to Mr. Parker. As of December 31, 2007, Mr. Parker’s maximum incentive compensation payment for each six-month period under AirNet’s 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan was $180,000.

To the extent any excise taxes are due on the amounts paid to Mr. Parker under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Parker will receive a gross-up payment that, after taxes, equals the amount of all excise taxes due.

Mr. Parker’s employment agreement prohibits him from disclosing, both during and after his termination of employment, any secret or confidential information of AirNet, without the Board’s prior written consent.

Employment Agreement for Jeffery B. Harris

Jeffery B. Harris is party to an employment agreement with AirNet, effective as of March 1, 2001. Mr. Harris’ employment agreement provided for an initial employment period ending December 31, 2001, which has been and will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless either party gives notice to the other of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the relevant employment period. AirNet did not give Mr. Harris notice of the non-renewal of the employment agreement, and consequently, the employment agreement was renewed for a one-year period ending December 31, 2007. Mr. Harris’ agreement has been further renewed through December 31, 2008. Mr. Harris was entitled to receive an initial base salary of $230,000, which may be adjusted upward or downward on an annual basis by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) based on a review of his performance. The initial base salary was the salary in effect for Mr. Harris on the date the employment agreement was entered into. Mr. Harris’ base salary for the 2007 fiscal year was $230,000 and remains at that amount for the 2008 fiscal year. Mr. Harris is entitled to participate in any bonus plan which AirNet may establish and in AirNet’s incentive stock plans, in each case at levels determined by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Harris is also entitled to receive all health and life insurance coverage, sick leave and disability programs, tax-qualified retirement plan contributions, paid holidays and vacations, perquisites and other fringe benefits provided by AirNet to its actively employed senior executives.

If Mr. Harris’ employment is terminated by AirNet without “cause” (as defined in his employment agreement) or if Mr. Harris terminates his employment for “good reason” (as defined in his employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive (i) a continuation of his base salary then in effect for a period of 12 months, (ii) a continuation of group medical insurance for 18 months and (iii) any accrued but unpaid salary, accrued but unused vacation and unreimbursed business expenses. Based on Mr. Harris’ base salary in effect on December 31, 2007, he would have received $230,000 of salary continuation over a 12-month period and continuing group medical insurance for 18 months in an estimated amount of $10,560 if his employment had been terminated as of December 31, 2007. The salary continuation period is extended to 18 months if the termination occurs on or after a “change in control” (as defined in his employment agreement). Based on Mr. Harris’ base salary in effect on December 31, 2007, he would have received $345,000 of salary continuation over an 18-month period and continuing group medical insurance for 18 months in an estimated amount of $10,560 if his employment had been terminated as of December 31, 2007, following a change in control. Mr. Harris would also be entitled to receive a single lump-sum payment, within 30 days of the date his employment is terminated, equal to the pro-rata portion (based on days employed during the fiscal year in which employment terminated) of any non-discretionary bonus payable based on employment throughout the fiscal year; become fully vested in all employee benefit programs (other than the Retirement Savings Plan, in which his interest would vest according to the Retirement Savings Plan’s terms); receive a lump-sum payment equal to his non-vested interest in the Retirement Savings Plan to the extent forfeited upon termination of employment; and be paid his reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses in connection with outplacement services, in an amount not to exceed $15,000. If Mr. Harris’ employment had been terminated by AirNet without cause or by Mr. Harris for good reason as of December 31, 2007, Mr. Harris would have received an accrued bonus payment equal to the amount actually awarded to him under the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan and shown in the Summary Compensation Table for 2007 above. Mr. Harris is fully vested under AirNet’s Retirement Savings Plan; consequently, there would have been no payment to Mr. Harris related to any forfeiture under the Retirement Savings Plan. As of December 31, 2007, all of the unvested options held by Mr. Harris had an exercise price greater than the closing price of AirNet’s common shares on December 31, 2007 (the last day of trading in the 2007 fiscal year) and, thus, had no value.

“Cause” is defined in Mr. Harris’ employment agreement to include: (i) any willful breach of the material terms of the employment agreement; (ii) any willful breach of a material duty of employment assigned to Mr. Harris pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement; (iii) material refusal to perform the duties assigned to Mr. Harris pursuant to his employment agreement; (iv) theft or embezzlement of a material amount of AirNet’s property; (v) fraud; or (vi) indictment for criminal activity other than minor misdemeanor traffic offenses.

The following events qualify as “good reason” for Mr. Harris to terminate his employment: (i) without his prior written consent, AirNet assigns Mr. Harris to duties which are materially inconsistent with or result in a material diminution of his position, authority, duties or responsibilities as set forth in his employment agreement, including failing to reappoint or reelect him to any such position; (ii) Mr. Harris’ base salary is reduced for any reason other than in connection with the termination of his employment, unless such reduction is in connection with proportionate reductions in the salaries of all other executive officers of AirNet; (iii) without Mr. Harris’ prior written consent, he is assigned to an office of AirNet located outside the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area; (iv) AirNet fails to obtain an agreement from any successor or assign of AirNet to assume and agree to perform Mr. Harris’ employment agreement; (v) AirNet provides notice that it will not extend the term of Mr. Harris’ employment period; or (vi) AirNet otherwise materially breaches its obligations to make payments to Mr. Harris under his employment agreement.

If Mr. Harris’ employment were terminated by AirNet for cause or by Mr. Harris without good reason, AirNet would pay him any accrued but unpaid base salary, any accrued but unused vacation and any unreimbursed business expenses.

Mr. Harris’ employment agreement also provides for the continuation of salary and bonus (reduced by amounts payable under the terms of any disability benefit plan of AirNet), at the rate then in effect, following a disability until his employment is terminated as a result of the disability and for the continuation of group medical benefits for a period of 18 months following termination of his employment due to the disability. If Mr. Harris’ employment had terminated as of December 31, 2007 due to his disability, he would have received continuing group medical insurance for 18 months in an estimated amount of $10,560. Mr. Harris would also be entitled to receive payment, determined as of the date of his termination, for any accrued but unpaid base salary, any accrued but unused vacation and any unreimbursed business expenses. If Mr. Harris’ employment were terminated by his death, his beneficiary would be entitled to receive any base salary that is accrued but unpaid, any accrued but unused vacation and any unreimbursed business expenses.

Immediately upon the occurrence of a “change in control” of AirNet (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Harris would become fully vested in all employee benefit programs in which he was then a participant, including all options, but excluding any tax-qualified retirement or savings plan as to which his interest would vest in accordance with the applicable plan’s terms. As of December 31, 2007, all of the unvested options held by Mr. Harris had an exercise price greater than the closing price of AirNet’s common shares on December 31, 2007 (the last day of trading in the 2007 fiscal year) and, thus, had no value.

Mr. Harris’ employment agreement contains confidentiality and non-competition provisions which prevent him from disclosing confidential information about AirNet and from competing with AirNet during his employment therewith and for an additional one year thereafter. In addition, during his employment with AirNet and for an additional one year thereafter, Mr. Harris may not solicit or hire, directly or indirectly, any employee of AirNet.

Employment Agreement for Larry M. Glasscock, Jr.

On May 3, 2005, AirNet entered into an employment agreement with Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. The employment agreement provided for an initial employment period ending December 31, 2006, which has been and will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless either party gives notice to the other of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the relevant employment period. AirNet did not give Mr. Glasscock notice of the non-renewal of his employment agreement, and consequently his employment agreement was renewed for a one-year period ending December 31, 2007. Mr. Glasscock’s agreement has been further renewed through December 31, 2008.

Mr. Glasscock was entitled to receive an initial annual base salary of $215,000, which may be adjusted upward or downward on an annual basis by the Compensation Committee based on its review of individual performance. The initial base salary was the salary in effect for Mr. Glasscock on the date the employment agreement was entered into. The base salary of Mr. Glasscock was $215,000 for the 2007 fiscal year and will remain at that amount for the 2008 fiscal year. Mr. Glasscock is entitled to participate in any bonus plan which AirNet may establish, at the level determined by the Compensation Committee, and is also entitled to receive all health and life insurance coverages, sick leave and disability programs, tax-qualified retirement plan contributions, paid holidays and vacations, perquisites and other fringe benefits of employment provided by AirNet to its actively employed senior executive officers. Mr. Glasscock is also entitled to participate in AirNet’s incentive stock plans at levels determined by the Compensation Committee.

Mr. Glasscock’s employment agreement contains confidentiality and non-competition provisions which prevent him from disclosing confidential information about AirNet and from competing with AirNet during his employment and for an additional period of one year following termination of his employment. In addition, during his employment with AirNet and for an additional period of one year thereafter, he may not solicit or hire, directly or indirectly, any employee of AirNet.

If Mr. Glasscock’s employment is terminated by AirNet without “cause” (as defined in his employment agreement) or by him for “good reason” (as defined in his employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive (i) a continuation of his base salary then in effect (but no less than $215,000) for a period of 12 months, (ii) a continuation of group medical insurance for 12 months and (iii) any accrued but unpaid salary, accrued but unused vacation and unreimbursed business expenses. Based upon his base salary and medical and health care benefits in effect on December 31, 2007, Mr. Glasscock would receive $215,000 of salary continuation benefits over this 12-month period. Mr. Glasscock does not participate in AirNet’s medical and health care plans. In addition, Mr. Glasscock would become fully vested in all employee benefit programs (other than with respect to any restricted stock which may be issued under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and any tax-qualified retirement or savings plan as to which his interest would vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan). He would also be entitled to receive a single lump-sum payment equal to the pro-rata portion (based on days employed during the fiscal year in which employment terminated) of any non-discretionary bonus payable based on employment throughout the fiscal year; receive a lump-sum payment equal to his non-vested interest under any tax-qualified retirement or savings plan maintained by AirNet to the extent forfeited upon termination of employment; and be paid his reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses in connection with outplacement services, in an amount not to exceed $15,000. If his employment had terminated as of December 31, 2007, Mr. Glasscock would have received an accrued bonus payment equal to the amount actually awarded to him under the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan and shown in the Summary Compensation Table for 2007 above. Mr. Glasscock is fully vested under AirNet’s Retirement Savings Plan; consequently, there would have been no payment to Mr. Glasscock related to any forfeiture under the Retirement Savings Plan. As of December 31, 2007, all of the unvested options held by Mr. Glasscock had an exercise price greater than the closing price of AirNet’s common shares on December 31, 2007 (the last day of trading of the 2007 fiscal year) and, thus, had no value.

“Cause” is defined in Mr. Glasscock’s employment agreement to include: (i) any willful breach of the material terms of the employment agreement; (ii) any willful breach of a material duty of employment assigned pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement other than a breach related to an assignment that would be a basis for Mr. Glasscock to terminate his employment for “good reason”; (iii) material refusal by Mr. Glasscock to perform the duties assigned to him pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement other than a refusal related to an assignment that would be a basis for him to terminate his employment for “good reason”; (iv) theft or embezzlement of a material amount of AirNet’s property; (v) fraud; or (vi) indictment for criminal activity other than minor misdemeanor traffic offenses.

The following events qualify as “good reason” for Mr. Glasscock to terminate his employment: (i) without his prior written consent, AirNet assigns him duties which are materially inconsistent with his professional training and experience or to a position that is not substantially comparable to his position as Senior Vice President, Express Services; (ii) his base salary is reduced for any reason other than in connection with the termination of his employment; (iii) without his prior written consent, he is assigned to an office of AirNet located outside the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area; (iv) AirNet fails to obtain an agreement from any successor or assign of AirNet to assume and agree to perform his employment agreement; or (v) AirNet otherwise materially breaches its obligations to make payments to him under his employment agreement.

If Mr. Glasscock’s employment is terminated by AirNet for cause or by him without good reason, AirNet would pay him any accrued but unpaid base salary, any accrued but unused vacation and any unreimbursed business expenses.

Mr. Glasscock’s employment agreement provides for the continuation of base salary and bonus (reduced by amounts payable under the terms of any disability benefit plan of AirNet), at the rate then in effect, following a disability until his employment is terminated as a result of the disability and for the continuation of group medical benefits for a period of 12 months following termination of his employment due to the disability. In addition, any disability plan in effect as of his date of termination would be continued. Mr. Glasscock does not participate in AirNet’s medical and health care plans. Mr. Glasscock would also be entitled to receive payment, determined as of the date of his termination, for any accrued but unpaid base salary, any accrued but unused vacation and any unreimbursed business expenses.

If Mr. Glasscock’s employment is terminated by his death, his beneficiary would be entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid base salary, any accrued but unused vacation and any unreimbursed business expenses.

Amounts payable upon termination of Mr. Glasscock’s employment would be deferred to the extent, if any, necessary to avoid the imposition of excise taxes and other penalties pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code but not by more than six months and a day from the termination date.

Immediately upon the occurrence of a “change in control” of AirNet (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Glasscock would become fully vested in all employee benefit programs in which he was then a participant, including all options but excluding any tax-qualified retirement or savings plan as to which his interest would vest in accordance with the applicable plan’s terms. As of December 31, 2007, all of the unvested options held by Mr. Glasscock had an exercise price greater than the closing price of AirNet’s common shares on December 31, 2007 (the last day of trading of the 2007 fiscal year) and, thus, had no value.

Separation Agreement for Gary W. Qualmann

Mr. Qualmann and AirNet entered into a separation agreement and general release dated as of October 3, 2007, which provided for Mr. Qualmann’s resignation as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of AirNet and which terminated the employment agreement between AirNet and Mr. Qualmann dated as of May 3, 2005. AirNet had previously notified Mr. Qualmann in writing on September 27, 2007 that his employment agreement would not be renewed after December 31, 2007, but that Mr. Qualmann would remain with AirNet and in his positions after such date without an agreement.

Under the terms of the separation agreement, Mr. Qualmann continued to be employed by AirNet until October 12, 2007. After such date, he received all accrued but unpaid base salary and unreimbursed business expenses. Mr. Qualmann also received a lump-sum payment of $141,780, which represents (i) six months’ salary, (ii) an agreed upon amount with respect to unused vacation time, (iii) an amount equal to the premiums required for Mr. Qualmann and his eligible dependents to continue their coverage under AirNet’s group health plan for twelve months after October 31, 2007 and (iv) $15,000 for use by Mr. Qualmann to obtain certain outplacement service. Mr. Qualmann also received all benefits due him under AirNet’s employee benefit plans, paid in accordance with the terms of such plans.

Mr. Qualmann agreed not to compete with AirNet and not to solicit for hire or knowingly hire, directly or indirectly, certain employees of AirNet for a period of 12 months. He has also agreed that he would maintain the confidentiality of information regarding AirNet and its affiliates obtained by him through his employment. Further, Mr. Qualmann released AirNet from any claims or causes of action he may have against AirNet, and AirNet agreed to indemnify him to the fullest extent permitted by AirNet’s amended and restated articles of incorporation and code of regulations for any expenses from suits related to his service with AirNet. Mr. Qualmann also agreed not to disparage or otherwise comment negatively about AirNet or any of its officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates and employees, among others, except to the extent that Mr. Qualmann is required

by applicable law to testify and only then to the extent that such testimony is fair and accurate. AirNet made a similar agreement not to disparage or otherwise comment negatively about Mr. Qualmann.

AirNet’s 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan

On March 28, 2007, the Board of Directors of AirNet, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 Incentive Plan”). The purpose of the 2007 Incentive Plan was to promote the following goals of AirNet for the 2007 fiscal year by providing incentive compensation to certain employees of AirNet:

	•		attaining designated levels of pre-tax income;
	•		achieving designated levels of Express Services revenues and contribution margin;
	•		reducing AirNet’s operating costs;
	•		establishing AirNet as the express air carrier of choice for highly controlled and time sensitive shipments;
	•		leveraging AirNet’s aviation infrastructure to improve contribution margin;
	•		operating in all areas of AirNet’s business in an absolutely safe, highly professional, dependable, efficient and customer focused manner; and
	•		developing AirNet’s leadership team.

Participants in the 2007 Incentive Plan included AirNet’s executive officers – Bruce D. Parker (Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President), Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. (Senior Vice President, Express Services), Jeffery B. Harris (Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer), Ray L. Druseikis (Vice President of Finance and Controller and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary) and Craig A. Leach (Vice President, Information Systems) — and certain department managers and department directors. There were 37 participants in the 2007 Incentive Plan who received payments under its terms.

The targeted incentive compensation payment a participant could have earned under the 2007 Incentive Plan ranged from 20% to 100% of the participant’s base salary, depending upon such participant’s level of responsibility for achieving AirNet’s goals for the 2007 fiscal year. The targeted percentage of annual base salary that each of AirNet’s executive officers could have earned as incentive compensation under the 2007 Incentive Plan was as follows: Bruce D. Parker, 100%; Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. and Jeffery B. Harris, 75%; and Ray L. Druseikis and Craig A. Leach, 50%.

Payments under the 2007 Incentive Plan were based on a combination of AirNet’s (i) pre-tax income for the 2007 fiscal year, (ii) Express Services revenues and contribution margins for the 2007 fiscal year, and (iii) the achievement of personal goals assigned to each participant. The Compensation Committee determined the personal goals of the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer determined the personal goals for the other executive officers, which were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. The personal goals of other participants were approved by the Chief Executive Officer and reviewed by the Compensation Committee. The personal goals approved by the Compensation Committee for each of the executive officers related to specific business objectives with respect to general business operations (e.g., regulatory compliance, expense reductions, etc.) and each business segment (e.g., execution of specific contracts with customers and vendors, cost reductions, service improvements, etc.).

With the exception of Bruce D. Parker, no incentive compensation was to be paid under the 2007 Incentive Plan unless AirNet achieved at least 80% of its targeted pre-tax income for the 2007 fiscal year. Mr. Parker was eligible to receive the portion of his incentive compensation potential allocated to his personal goals without regard to AirNet’s attainment of its financial objectives. Once the designated threshold level of pre-tax income was achieved, potential incentive compensation payouts were to increase at predetermined levels until the maximum incentive compensation payout of approximately $1.7 million was reached at approximately 140% of AirNet’s targeted pre-tax income for the 2007 fiscal year.

Once the aggregate potential incentive compensation payout was determined based upon the level of pre-tax income achieved by AirNet during the 2007 fiscal year, each participant’s incentive compensation payment was to be determined based upon the following three components of the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan: (i) pre-tax income for the 2007 fiscal year; (ii) Express Services revenues and contribution margins for the 2007 fiscal year; and (iii) the achievement of personal goals. With the exception of Mr. Parker, 20% of each participant’s incentive compensation payout was allocated to the attainment of personal goals. Forty percent of Mr. Parker’s incentive compensation payment was allocated to the attainment of personal goals. The portion of each participant’s incentive compensation potential that was not allocated to the attainment of personal goals was to be allocated to the attainment of predetermined levels of pre-tax income and Express Services revenues and contribution margin based upon such participant’s responsibility for achieving such goals.

No incentive compensation was to be earned with respect to the Express Services component of the 2007 Incentive Plan unless AirNet achieved at least 100% of its targeted Express Services revenues and contribution margin. Once the designated threshold levels of Express Services revenues and contribution margin were achieved, potential incentive compensation payouts under the Express Services component of the 2007 Incentive Plan were to increase at predetermined levels until the maximum Express Services compensation payout level was achieved.

Mr. Parker’s incentive compensation payments under the 2007 Incentive Plan were based upon the achievement of certain pre-determined financial objectives and personal goals for the first six months of the 2007 fiscal year and the last six months of the 2007 fiscal year. Mr. Parker was eligible to receive up to 50% of his annual base salary in each six-month period, subject to the attainment of predetermined financial objectives and personal goals. In each six-month incentive compensation period, Mr. Parker’s incentive compensation potential was allocated among Mr. Parker’s financial objectives and personal goals as follows:

	•		30% of Mr. Parker’s incentive compensation potential was based upon attaining at least 100% of the targeted pre-tax income for the applicable six-month period;
	•		30% of Mr. Parker’s incentive compensation potential was based upon attaining at least 100% of the targeted Express Services revenues and contribution margin for the applicable six-month period; and
	•		40% of Mr. Parker’s incentive compensation potential was based upon the attainment of the personal goals established for Mr. Parker by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors established the following personal goals for Mr. Parker for the 2007 fiscal year:

	•		development of an AirNet operating vision, including specific objectives and strategy;
	•		development of a chief executive officer succession plan; and
	•		developing AirNet’s management into an integrated team working to achieve specific objectives.

The Board of Directors evaluated Mr. Parker’s performance at the end of each six month incentive compensation period and determined his incentive compensation payment based upon AirNet’s financial performance and achievement of Mr. Parker’s personal goals during such period.

Except for payments to Mr. Parker and AirNet’s other executive officers, payments under the 2007 Incentive Plan were paid quarterly commencing with the first quarter of the 2007 fiscal year based upon AirNet’s year to date financial performance. With the exception of Mr. Parker, payments of incentive compensation to AirNet’s executive officers were made in the first quarter of the 2008 fiscal year based upon AirNet’s performance and each executive officer’s performance for the 2007 fiscal year. Mr. Parker’s incentive compensation payments were made in two installments on September 14, 2007 and March 13, 2008. In order to receive a payment, a participant must have been actively employed by AirNet at the time the payment was made. New employees who qualified for the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan were eligible to participate on the first day of the calendar quarter following their date of hire.

In the event the incentive compensation payments otherwise available for payment under the 2007 Incentive Plan based upon AirNet’s level of pre-tax income were not to be paid to certain participants as a result of such participants’ failure to attain their personal goals or AirNet’s failure to attain the predetermined levels of Express Services revenues or contribution margin, such unpaid amounts could have been awarded at the discretion of the Compensation Committee to participants in the 2007 Incentive Plan or to other employees of AirNet not participating in the 2007 Incentive Plan. In the event such discretionary awards were made to any participant, including AirNet’s executive officers, the total incentive compensation payment to any such participant could have exceeded the targeted incentive compensation payment to such participant as described above.

On November 6, 2007, the Board of Directors of AirNet, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, amended the 2007 Incentive Plan so that for purposes of computing the pre-tax income of AirNet for the 2007 fiscal year, the $2.2 million non-cash impairment charge recorded by AirNet in the third quarter of the 2007 fiscal year would be disregarded and AirNet’s pre-tax income for the 2007 fiscal year would be computed as if no impairment charge had been incurred.

During the 2007 fiscal year and the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, AirNet made payments under the terms of the 2007 Incentive Plan in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.0 million, which included $71,500 paid to Mr. Parker in 2007 as described above. In March of 2008, the following executive officers of AirNet were paid the following amounts for 2007 performance under the 2007 Incentive Plan: Bruce D. Parker — $133,200; Jeffery B. Harris — $125,600; Larry M. Glasscock, Jr. - $94,200; Craig A. Leach — $58,100; and Ray L. Druseikis -$55,000.

AirNet’s 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan

On March 29, 2008, AirNet’s Board adopted the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2008 Incentive Plan”) for the 2008 fiscal year. A description of the 2008 Incentive Plan was included in ITEM 9B — OTHER INFORMATION of, and a summary of the 2008 Incentive Plan was filed as Exhibit 10.29 to AirNet’s Original Form 10-K.

Stock Purchase Program

All employees of AirNet and its subsidiaries, including its executive officers, are given the opportunity to purchase common shares of AirNet through a stock purchase program. The stock purchase program was offered under the 1996 Incentive Stock Plan through the offering period which ended June 30, 2004 and has been offered under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan since July 1, 2004. Pursuant to this payroll deduction program, which is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 under the Internal Revenue Code, employees are able to purchase common shares of AirNet during offering periods of such duration (not exceeding 12 months) as the Compensation Committee determines. The price at which common shares may be purchased will be the price determined by the Compensation Committee prior to the start of an offering period and may not be less than the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the common shares on the first business day of each offering period and 85% of the fair market value of the common shares on the last business day of each offering period. Historically, under the stock purchase program there have been four offering periods of three months each per calendar year and the purchase price has been equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the common shares on the first business day of each offering period and 85% of the fair market value of the common shares on the last business day of each offering period. The Compensation Committee, however, has the discretion to change the number and frequency of offering periods and the purchase price under the stock purchase program.

Director Compensation

The following table summarizes the total compensation of each of the individuals who served as a non-employee director of AirNet during the 2007 fiscal year, with the exception of Bruce D. Parker as explained below.

Cash Compensation

AirNet’s directors who are not officers or employees of AirNet (“Non-Employee Directors”) are paid fees for their services as members of the Board and its committees. The current Non-Employee Directors of AirNet are James M. Chadwick, Gerald Hellerman, Thomas J. Kiernan, Robert H. Milbourne and James E. Riddle. Each of James M. Chadwick, Gerald Hellerman and James E. Riddle also served as a Non-Employee Director throughout the 2007 fiscal year. Thomas J. Kiernan and Robert H. Milbourne were appointed to the Board as Non-Employee Directors on September 25, 2007. Russell M. Gertmenian, who resigned from the Board effective August 17, 2007, was also a Non-Employee Director during the 2007 fiscal year, serving from January 1, 2007 until August 17, 2007.

The quarterly fee paid during the 2007 fiscal year and to be paid during the 2008 fiscal year for serving as a Non-Employee Director has been and remains $6,000. The fee for attending each meeting of the full Board in person was $2,000 during the 2007 fiscal year and continues to be the same amount during the 2008 fiscal year. The fee for attending telephonic meetings of the full Board was $1,000 for each meeting attended during the 2007 fiscal year and remains that amount during the 2008 fiscal year.

The fee for Audit Committee members has been and remains $2,000 per meeting attended in person during each of the 2007 fiscal year and the 2008 fiscal year, with the Chair of the Audit Committee receiving an additional $1,000 per meeting attended in person. The fee for Compensation Committee members and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members has been and remains $1,000 per meeting attended in person during each of the 2007 fiscal year and the 2008 fiscal year, with the Chair of each of those Committees receiving an additional $2,000 for each meeting of the Committee attended in person. The fees for attending telephonic meetings of each Committee held during each of the 2007 fiscal year and the 2008 fiscal year have been and remain one-half (50%) of the amount of the fees for attending a meeting of the particular Committee in person.

On December 16, 2005, AirNet’s Board established a Strategy Committee to work with management on the ongoing business strategy and alternatives for AirNet to enhance shareholder value. The Strategy Committee was comprised of Bruce D. Parker and James M. Chadwick. The Strategy Committee was dissolved on February 27, 2007. The Strategy Committee did not meet during the 2007 fiscal year and no fees were paid to Strategy Committee members during the 2007 fiscal year prior to the dissolution of the Strategy Committee.

As the lead director of AirNet, James E. Riddle received an additional quarterly fee of $6,000 for service in that capacity during the 2007 fiscal year and continues to receive that amount during the 2008 fiscal year.

The Non-Employee Directors meet without management present in connection with each of the regularly scheduled meetings of the full Board and receive no meeting fees for attending such meetings. To the extent the Non-Employee Directors determine to meet by telephone or in person other than in connection with a regularly scheduled Board meeting, they receive $2,000 per meeting attended in person and $1,000 per telephonic meeting.

Because he is an officer and employee of AirNet, Bruce D. Parker has not received, and will not receive, any fees for serving as a director of AirNet.

The directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their service as directors, including travel expenses.

Director Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective May 27, 1998, AirNet established the AirNet Systems, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Director Deferred Plan”). The Director Deferred Plan enables a Non-Employee Director to defer all or a part of his director’s fees, including federal income tax thereon. Such deferred fees may be credited to (i) a cash account where the funds will earn interest at the rate prescribed in the Director Deferred Plan, or (ii) a stock account where the funds will be converted into an AirNet common share equivalent (determined by dividing the amount to be allocated to the Non-Employee Director’s stock account by the fair market value of AirNet’s common shares when the credit to the stock account is made). In his deferral election, a Non-Employee Director may elect whether distribution of the amount in his account(s) under the Director Deferred Plan is to be made in a single lump sum payment or in equal annual installments, payable over a period of not more than ten years. Distributions begin within 30 days of the earlier of (a) the date specified by a Non-Employee Director at the time a deferral election is made or (b) the date the Non-Employee Director ceases to be a director. Cash accounts are to be distributed in the form of cash and stock accounts are to be distributed in the form of common shares or cash, as selected by AirNet. As of the date of this Amendment, none of the Non-Employee Directors had participated in the Director Deferred Plan during the 2008 fiscal year, and none did so in either the 2006 fiscal year or the 2007 fiscal year.

Options Granted under 1996 Incentive Stock Plan

Non-Employee Directors were automatically granted options to purchase AirNet common shares in accordance with the terms of the 1996 Incentive Stock Plan. Pursuant to the 1996 Incentive Stock Plan, each individual newly-elected or appointed as a Non-Employee Director from August 19, 1998 until June 4, 2004 was automatically granted an option to purchase 20,000 AirNet common shares effective on the date of his election or appointment to the Board. In addition, on the first business day of each of the 2002, 2003 and 2004 fiscal years, each individual who was then serving as a Non-Employee Director and had served for at least one full one-year term as a Non-Employee Director, was automatically granted an option to purchase 4,000 AirNet common shares. All of these options were granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of the common shares on the respective grant date. In addition, all of these options vested and became exercisable with respect to 20% of the common shares covered thereby on each of the grant date and the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.
Each option granted to a Non-Employee Director under the 1996 Incentive Stock Plan has a ten-year term. If a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board, his vested options may be exercised for a period of three months (12 months in the case of a Non-Employee Director who becomes disabled or dies) after the date his service ends, subject in each case to the stated term of each option. However, a Non-Employee Director who ceases to be a director after having been convicted of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony immediately forfeits all of his options.

Following the approval of the AirNet Systems, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan by the shareholders of AirNet at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, no further options have been or will be granted to the Non-Employee Directors under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan.

Options Granted under 2004 Stock Incentive Plan

Under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, each newly-elected or appointed Non-Employee Director after June 4, 2004 has been and is to be granted an option to purchase 20,000 AirNet common shares effective on the date of his election or appointment to the Board. In accordance with the terms of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, on July 20, 2005, each of James M. Chadwick and Gerald Hellerman was automatically granted an option to purchase 20,000 common shares with an exercise price of $4.26 per share and (ii) on September 25, 2007, each of Thomas J. Kiernan and Robert H. Milbourne was automatically granted an option to purchase 20,000 common shares with an exercise price of $2.52 per share.

In addition, on the first business day of each fiscal year, each individual who is then serving as a Non-Employee Director and has served for at least one full one-year term as a Non-Employee Director, is automatically granted an option to purchase 4,000 AirNet common shares. On January 2, 2007 (the first business day of the 2007 fiscal year), each of the individuals then serving as a Non-Employee Director who had served for at least one full one-year term on that date, thereby being eligible for the grant – James M. Chadwick, Russell M. Gertmenian, Gerald Hellerman and James E. Riddle – was automatically granted an option to purchase 4,000 AirNet common shares with an exercise price of $2.91. Each of the individuals serving as a Non-Employee Director on January 2, 2008 (the first business day of the 2008 fiscal year) who had served for at least one full one-year term on that date, thereby being eligible for the grant – James M. Chadwick, Gerald Hellerman and James E. Riddle — was automatically granted an option to purchase 4,000 AirNet common shares with an exercise price of $1.87.

Each option automatically granted under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan vests and becomes exercisable as to 20% of the common shares covered thereby on each of the grant date and the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Each option automatically granted under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan must have an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the underlying common shares as reported on the AMEX on the grant date (or, if the grant date is not a trading day on AMEX, on the first trading day following the grant date). Any outstanding unvested options will become fully exercisable (i) if the Non-Employee Director retires from service as an AirNet director after having served at least one full

one-year term, becomes totally disabled or dies or (ii) if AirNet undergoes a merger or consolidation or reclassification of the common shares or the exchange of the common shares for the securities of another entity (other than a subsidiary of AirNet) that has acquired AirNet’s assets or which is in control of an entity that has acquired AirNet’s assets.

Once vested and exercisable, each option automatically granted to a Non-Employee Director under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan will remain exercisable until the earlier to occur of (i) ten years after the grant date or (ii) three months after the Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board (24 months in the case of a Non-Employee Director who becomes disabled, dies or retires after having served at least one full one-year term), subject in each case to the stated term of each option. However, if a Non-Employee Director’s service as a director is terminated for cause, he will immediately forfeit his options.

ITEM 13 — CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

Pursuant to the terms of its written charter, the Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to any proposed transaction involving AirNet or any subsidiary of AirNet, and any director or executive officer of AirNet or any subsidiary of AirNet, or any such transaction involving an immediate family member of any such director or executive officer or involving any entity in which any such director or executive officer has more than a modest financial interest. Further, under AirNet’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and overseeing all actions and transactions in which the personal interests of an officer or director may be in conflict with those of AirNet and determining whether any such action or transaction represents a potential conflict of interest. A transaction creates a potential conflict of interest when business judgments or decisions may be influenced by personal interests not shared by AirNet as a whole. A conflict of interest may, for example, arise when an officer or director, or a member of his family, has an interest in a transaction to which AirNet or one of its subsidiaries is a participant, competes with AirNet or one of its subsidiaries, uses corporate property for personal gain or takes advantage of an opportunity that belongs to AirNet or one of its subsidiaries. Under AirNet’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, AirNet’s officers and directors must report transactions involving a potential conflict of interest to the Chairman of the Audit Committee for review and approval by the Audit Committee. When reviewing a transaction involving a potential conflict of interest, the Audit Committee will consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances and either approve or disapprove of the transaction. While the relevant facts and circumstances will vary depending on the transaction, they generally include:

	•		the benefits to AirNet or one of its subsidiaries of the transaction;
	•		the terms of the transaction;
	•		the interest of the officer or director (or a member of his family) in the transaction;
	•		the alternatives to entering into the transaction;
	•		whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those available to third parties; and
	•		the overall fairness of the transaction.

To the extent practicable, all transactions involving a potential conflict of interest will be approved in advance. If a transaction involving a potential conflict of interest that has not been pre-approved is discovered or, to the extent advance approval is not practicable, the Audit Committee will promptly consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances. If the transaction is ongoing, the Audit Committee will ratify, amend or terminate the transaction as it deems appropriate. If the transaction has been completed, the Audit Committee will consider if rescission of the transaction is appropriate and whether disciplinary action is warranted.

Transactions with Related Persons since January 1, 2007

One of AirNet’s former directors, Russell M. Gertmenian, is the managing partner of the law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP and serves as Chair of that firm’s Management Committee. Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP rendered legal services to AirNet and its subsidiaries during the 2007 fiscal year and continues to do so. During the 2007 fiscal year,

Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP was paid approximately $305,000 in fees and expenses in connection with such legal services. This amount represents less than 1% of such firm’s 2007 gross revenues. These legal services were provided on an arm’s-length basis, and paid for at fair market value. AirNet believes that such services were effected on terms no less favorable to AirNet than those that would have been realized in transactions with unaffiliated entities or individuals. Consistent with its responsibility, the Audit Committee has reviewed and approved the relationship with Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP as being consistent with the best interests of AirNet and its subsidiaries.

Director Independence

Applicable sections of the AMEX Rules require that at least a majority of the members of the Board be independent directors. The definition of an “independent director” for purposes of the AMEX Rules includes a series of objective tests, which AirNet has used in determining whether the members of the AirNet Board are independent. In addition, a member of AirNet’s Audit Committee will not be considered to be independent under the applicable AMEX Rules if he (i) does not satisfy the independence standards in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or (ii) has participated in the preparation of the financial statements of AirNet or any of AirNet’s current subsidiaries at any time during the past three years.

In making determinations as to the independence of AirNet’s directors consistent with the definition of “independent directors” in the applicable AMEX Rules, the Board reviewed, considered and discussed:

	•		the relationships (including employment, commercial, industrial, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and family relationships) of each director (and the immediate family members of each director) with AirNet and/or any of AirNet’s subsidiaries (either directly or as a partner, manager, director, trustee, controlling shareholder, officer, employee or member of any organization that has any such relationship) since January 1, 2005;
	•		the compensation and other payments each director (and the immediate family members of each director):

	•		has received from or made to AirNet and/or any of AirNet’s subsidiaries (either directly or as a partner, manager, director, trustee, controlling shareholder, officer, employee or member of an organization which has received compensation or payments from or made payments to AirNet and/or any of AirNet’s subsidiaries) since January 1, 2005; and
	•		presently expects to receive or make to AirNet and/or any of AirNet’s subsidiaries (either directly or as a partner, manager, director, trustee, controlling shareholder, officer, employee or member of an organization);

	•		the relationship, if any, between each director (and the immediate family members of each director) and AirNet’s independent registered public accounting firm since January 1, 2005;
	•		whether any director (or any immediate family member of any director) is employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time since January 1, 2005, any of AirNet’s executive officers served or presently serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; and
	•		whether any director has participated in the preparation of the financial statements of AirNet or any of AirNet’s current subsidiaries at any time since January 1, 2005.

Based upon that review, consideration and discussion and the unanimous recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has determined that at least a majority of its members qualify as independent directors under the applicable AMEX Rules. The Board has determined that each of James M. Chadwick, Gerald Hellerman, Thomas J. Kiernan, Robert H. Milbourne and James E. Riddle qualifies as an independent director because he has no financial or personal relationship, either directly or indirectly, with AirNet or AirNet’s subsidiaries other than: (i) ownership of AirNet common shares and (ii) compensation received in his capacity as a director of AirNet. As required by the AMEX Rules, AirNet’s Board has affirmatively determined that each independent director has no relationship with AirNet or any of AirNet’s subsidiaries that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Bruce D. Parker qualified as an independent director under the applicable AMEX Rules until December 28, 2006, when he was elected Chief Executive Officer and President of AirNet.

In addition, during his tenure on the Board for a portion of the 2007 fiscal year, Russell M. Gertmenian did not qualify as an independent director because he is a partner with the law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, which performed legal services for AirNet and its subsidiaries during the 2007 fiscal year and continues to do so. While the Board felt that Mr. Gertmenian’s relationship with the law firm did not interfere with his exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director, the Board determined that Mr. Gertmenian’s relationship may give the appearance of a conflict of interest and, as such, determined that he should not be considered an independent director.

ITEM 14 — PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Pre-Approval of Services Performed by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Under applicable SEC rules, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm employed by AirNet in order to ensure that those services do not impair that firm’s independence from AirNet. The SEC rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent registered public accounting firm may not provide to its client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Consistent with the SEC rules, the charter of the Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by AirNet’s independent registered public accounting firm to AirNet or any of its subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and, if it does, the decision of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

All services proposed to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm are discussed with the Audit Committee by both the independent registered public accounting firm and AirNet’s Chief Financial Officer. These discussions address whether, in their view, the provision of the proposed services is consistent with SEC rules governing the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Fees of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

AirNet’s Audit Committee appointed Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) to serve as AirNet’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2007 fiscal year and has done so again for the 2008 fiscal year. E&Y has served as AirNet’s independent auditors/independent registered public accounting firm since 1989. The aggregate fees billed to AirNet and its subsidiaries by E&Y for each of the 2007 fiscal year and the 2006 fiscal year were as follows:

		2007				2006
		Fiscal Year				Fiscal Year
