Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AAWW) today announced that the transition to bring operations of
Southern Air, Inc. under a Single Operating Certificate (SOC) with
Atlas Air, Inc. is now complete.
With the addition of Southern Air, Atlas Air was

a more diversified company offering customers access to a wider
range of aircraft, a broader array of services, greater scale and
an expanded global footprint.
“The 2016 acquisition of Southern Air enhanced
our company’s position as a leading global provider of outsourced
aircraft and aviation operating services by expanding our fleet and
global capabilities to drive significant value for our customers
and shareholders,” said John W. Dietrich, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Atlas Air Worldwide. “It also brought us a
talented team of aviation professionals who share in our commitment
to our customers as we create an even stronger company for the
future. We are excited to have all our Southern Air employees
assume positions with Atlas Air as we complete the final step in
merging these two great airlines.”
Mr. Dietrich expressed the company’s
appreciation for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA)
assistance during the transition.
“We are grateful to the FAA for its support
throughout this process as we focused on a safe and compliant
operational transition,” Mr. Dietrich said. “The efforts and
insight of the FAA team have been invaluable. We look forward to
continuing to work closely with the FAA under this Single Operating
Certificate.”
