This award, issued on January 17, 2018, with an ultimate completion date of January 22, 2018, represents a short-duration deployment supporting AMC's airlift requirements. The delivery order was structured as a firm fixed-price contract with no set-aside designation, reflecting open competition among qualified carriers.

The company's role within the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program and its positioning on larger government contracts demonstrate its established capability as a critical provider of air transportation services to the federal government, enabling flexible and responsive support for defense and humanitarian objectives across domestic and international routes.
