Radioactive Materials  

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- AirNet Systems, Inc. 
(NYSE: ANS - news) one of the premier specialty integrators, 
announced today it has received approval from the Department of 
Transportation for a DOT-E#7060 exemption certificate which 
permits AirNet to expand the transportation of certain radioactive 
materials aboard its aircraft. AirNet is one of only three carriers in 
the country to hold such an exemption.  

Guy King, Vice President Express Sales, said, ``This exemption, 
coupled with our multiple reflex hub system, gives AirNet and its 
customers a time advantage that cannot be matched through other 
carriers. AirNet can deliver the time-sensitive products to the end 
user within short time periods, thus creating a substantial cost 
savings for the Radioactive Pharmaceutical Industry. We look 
forward to developing and refining shipping solutions for this 
important growth market.''  

Jerry Mercer, Chairman, CEO and President, added, ``The 
Radioactive Pharmaceutical Industry has long sought an alternative 
in transporting its products. Over the past several months, we have 
trained and developed the AirNet team to address the needs of this 
market. We will maintain a rigorous set of operating controls to 
ensure the safety of the material handlers and crew. This 
significantly expands our capabilities within the medical market, 
which is an integral part of our Express strategy.''

Inc., provides the latest pickup with early delivery and offers 
solutions to the most time-critical challenges. With a fleet of 118
