isn't a straight-up leasing company, as about 80% of the company's
external revenue comes from ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance,
insurance) operations, but the stock has nevertheless been quite strong

under-utilized assets in an improving economy and taking a new,
disciplined approach to further capex, Air Transport Group should be
looking at a period of improving margins and cash flows.
