Alpine Air Express Posts 1.4 Million Dollar Quarterly Profit
Communiqué publié le 22/03/2007 à 11h01

Alpine Air Express Inc. (OTCBB: APNX) announced that its operating subsidiary Alpine Air, a leading provider of regional air cargo transport and logistics services, stated in its 10-QSB that the Company increased its income before taxes to $1,400,908 for the first quarter in 2007. This represents a nearly 40% increase in profits as compared for the same period in 2006.

The increased quarterly profits were a product of renegotiated mainland cargo contracts, new route awards, as well as the execution of a Joint Operating Agreement in the Hawaiian Islands. As a result of these positive changes, Alpine Air increased its revenue per unit of transported cargo significantly. Additionally, through the efforts of management to control costs, the Company was able to increase net profit from operations for this period when compared to the same period last year.

Gene Mallette, CEO of Alpine Air, commented, "We are excited to report the recent quarter earnings. Combined with efficient use of our aircraft and the recent announcement that we locked in our fuel expense for the remainder of 2007, we look forward to continued growth of our operating profits. We are actively looking to grow our company where it makes sense, in an attempt to take advantage of the evolving cargo market."

Founded in 1975, Alpine Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alpine Air Express Inc., provides competitively priced scheduled air cargo flights throughout the western and southwestern United States. The Company has an established client base that includes various contract operations, freight forwarders, and other cargo and logistics firms. Alpine Air provides superior "on time" performance and reliability, together with the flexibility to adapt quickly to the growing frequency and capacity requirements of its clients.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements including the company's beliefs about its business prospects and future results of operations. These statements involve risks and uncertainties. Among the important additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements are risks associated with the overall economic environment, the successful completion of the proposed leasing transaction, changes in anticipated earnings of the company and other factors detailed in the company's filings with the SEC. In addition, the factors underlying company forecasts are dynamic and subject to change and therefore those forecasts speak only as of the date they are given. The company does not undertake to update them; however, it may choose from time to time to update them and if it should do so, it will disseminate the updates to the investing public.
