Amerijet Continues Operations Despite IBT's Attempt to Strike

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Amerijet International, Inc.
announced today that its negotiations with the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters (IBT) for a new collective bargaining agreement covering its flight
crewmembers has been unsuccessful, and that the IBT has elected to call a
strike at Amerijet.

Amerijet and IBT have been attempting to reach a collective bargaining
agreement for nearly five years and remain at a standstill, with both parties
at an impasse on the central issues.

"We are disappointed that IBT's inability to reach a fair agreement has
resulted in their decision to strike," said Pamela Rollins, SVP Business
Development "the demands were simply not justified in any respect,
particularly given the current competitive and economic environment."

"While we regret IBT's decision to strike, we have prepared for this
contingency," said Rollins. Amerijet has continued to operate its published
flight schedule and has experienced no interruption of service to its
customers.
