Global Ground Support Awarded New Contract with the United States Air Force

Air T, Inc. announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Ground Support, LLC, has been awarded a new contract valued at $34 million to supply deicing trucks to the United States Air Force. 

The contract award is for two years commencing Oct. 22, 2021, with four additional one-year extension options that may be exercised by the United States Air Force. The award includes standard deicer trucks and extended-reach deicer trucks along with commissioning and training costs. The actual value of the contract as well as units delivered will be determined based upon actual annual requirements of the United States Air Force. The previous contract held by Global with the United States Air Force expired July 13, 2020. 

Nick Swenson, Air T's CEO, stated that, “It is satisfying to see Global Ground Support once again selected by the United States Air Force to be their sole-source supplier of aircraft deicing trucks.  Winning this contract is a testament to the quality of product and after-sale service and support — the same service that Global Ground Support provides to all of its customers.  The fact that this was won as a sole-source award allows us to continue to supply this essential piece of operational readiness equipment to our military is particularly gratifying.  The awarding of this contract furthers the opportunity for continued strong performance at our Global Ground Support unit in the coming years.”
