Air T revenue rises 63% to $115.5 million, operating loss widens to $12.8 million
Air T reported fiscal 2027 first-quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2026, with revenue up 63% to $115.5 million but an operating loss of $12.8 million compared with operating income of $0.8 million a year earlier. The company attributed the loss mainly to transaction and integration costs for Crestone's June 10 acquisition of Arena Aviation Capital and to depreciation from the fair-value step-up of the Rex aircraft fleet. Shareholders are seeing higher revenue alongside lower profitability in the quarter.
