Air T, Inc

Air T, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated holding company that owns a portfolio of operating businesses and financial assets, with a stated objective of compounding free cash flow per share over time. Its operating segments span aviation-linked services and products: overnight air cargo flying, ground support equipment manufacturing, aviation asset leasing and aftermarket parts/services, and digital aviation software/data subscriptions. The corporate center functions as a capital allocator across subsidiaries and also holds smaller business interests and unconsolidated investments. The mix creates exposure to both contracted transportation demand (notably a key customer relationship) and more cyclical aviation aftermarket and equipment cycles.
