The operating agreement through which ATSG's airlines operate those aircraft will be extended to May 2029, with extension rights for five additional years.

"We're pleased to further expand our leading role in the Amazon Air network that we started in 2016," said Joe Hete, Chairman and CEO of ATSG. "Our operating capabilities will continue to support Amazon's customer-centric commitments for years to come."

Key features of the new and amended agreements include:

ATSG has also agreed to extend the exercise period for vested warrants for 21.8 million shares it previously issued to Amazon, amend the vesting conditions and extend the exercise period for unvested existing warrants for 2.9 million shares, and issued new warrants for up to 2.9 million additional shares to Amazon.

"These additional aircraft will allow us to leverage our existing infrastructure and capabilities for expanded operating revenues. This expanded and extended operating agreement is a testament to the dependability of our employees and the reliability we bring to the Amazon Air network," Hete said.
