           AIR TRANSPORTATION HOLDING COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

A.  Financial Statements

     The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1995, the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings for the three and six-month periods ended September 30,
1995 and 1994 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three-
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 have been prepared by Air
Transportation Holding Company, Inc. (the Company) without audit.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as of September 30, 1995, and for prior periods
presented, have been made.

     It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995.  The results of
operations for the period ended September 30 are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results for the full year.

B.  Income Taxes

      The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", as of the beginning of fiscal 1994. 
The tax effect of temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards
that gave rise to the Company's deferred tax asset is broken down between
current and noncurrent amounts in the accompanying September 30, 1995 and
March 31, 1995 consolidated balance sheets.

      The Company has recorded a valuation allowance in order to reduce its
deferred tax asset to an amount which is more likely than not to be realized. 
Changes in the valuation allowance, related to future utilization of net
operating losses, reduced the provision for income taxes by $43,000 and
$58,000, respectively, during the six months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994.  Of the valuation allowance of approximately $377,000, approximately
$365,000 relates to potential benefits from pre-acquisition carryforwards. 
Benefits derived from these carryforwards, amounting to $189,000 and $160,000,
respectively, during the six months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, have
been credited directly to goodwill.
















                                    6<PAGE>
B.  Income Taxes (cont'd)


      The income tax provisions for the three and six months ended September
30, 1995 and 1994 differ from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result
of state income taxes and reductions in the valuation allowance.

      The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards available for
tax return purposes of approximately $1,300,000.  These carryforwards expire
in varying amounts from 1996 to 1997.  The potential utilization of certain of
these carryforwards is subject to the separate return limitation rules
pursuant to Treasury regulations.  These carryforwards, to the extent
realized, will result in a reduction of goodwill, until goodwill is reduced to
zero.


C.  Net Earnings Per Share

     Primary earnings per share has been compiled by dividing net earnings by
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. 
There was no difference between primary and fully diluted earnings per share. 
Shares issuable under employee stock options are considered common share
equivalents and were included in the weighted average common shares as of
September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial                 
Condition and Results of Operations.


Results of Operations

     The Company's revenue is generated through its air cargo subsidiaries,
Mountain Air Cargo, Inc. (MAC) and CSA Air, Inc. (CSA), which are short-haul
express air freight carriers flying nightly under contracts with a major
express delivery company out of 60 cities, principally located in 28 states in
the eastern half of the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and the Virgin
Islands.  On October 1, 1993, the Company organized Mountain Aircraft
Services, LLC (MAS) to engage in the sale of commercial aircraft parts and
provide aircraft engine overhaul management and component repair services. 
Revenues from this operation contributed approximately $1,749,000 and
$477,000, respectively, to the Company's revenues for the six months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994.

      Under the terms of its dry-lease service contracts (which currently
cover approximately 97% of the revenue aircraft operated), the Company passes
through to its customer certain cost components of its air freight operations
without markup.  The cost of fuel, landing fees, outside maintenance, aircraft
certification and conversion, parts and certain other direct operating costs
are included in operating expenses and billed to the customer, as cargo and
maintenance revenue.

     Consolidated revenue increased $926,000 (5.7%) to $17,058,000 for the
six-month period ended September 30, 1995 and $613,000 (7.6%) for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1995 compared to their equivalent 1994
periods. The change in revenue primarily resulted from increases in cargo
revenue generated by Company-owned aircraft and other revenue related to the
expansion of MAS, partially offset by decreases in cargo maintenance billing.

     Operating expenses increased $1,218,000 (8.2%) to $16,005,000 for the
six-month period ended September 30, 1995 and $802,000 (10.9%) for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1995 compared to their equivalent 1994
periods. The increase in operating expenses for the six-month period consisted
of the following changes:  cost of flight operations increased $154,000
(2.7%); maintenance expense increased $847,000 (11.9%), primarily as a result
of increases in cost of sales related to aircraft parts sold by MAS;
depreciation increased $32,000 (15.1%) due to additional depreciation related
to the start-up of the MAS component repair facility, the acquisition of
computer system hardware, maintenance and office equipment; general and
administrative expense increased $184,000 (10.9%) as a result of increased
staffing at MAS, increases in stockholder-related expense, employee benefits
and wage rates.

Results of Operations (cont'd)

      The $263,000 increase, for the six-month period September 30, 1995, in
non-operating income reflects gain on disposal of Company-owned aircraft.

     Pretax earnings decreased $29,000 and $190,000 for the six and three-
month periods ended September 30, 1995 compared to 1994.  The decreases were
due to the above mentioned increased administration and depreciation cost and
decreased cargo aircraft maintenance revenue which was partially offset by the
first quarter fiscal 1996 gain on disposal of Company-owned aircraft. 

      The provision for income taxes for the six-month period ended September
30, 1995 increased $15,000 and decreased $57,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1995 compared to their respective fiscal 1995 periods. 
Both periods experienced increased effective tax rates due to the complete
utilization of certain net operating loss carryforwards during the second
quarter of fiscal 1995.  Utilization of the above NOL's in fiscal 1995
increased the effective Federal income tax rate on certain subsidiary income
in fiscal 1996 (see Note B. Income Taxes).


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of September 30, 1995 the Company's working capital amounted to
$5,486,000, an increase of $1,009,000 compared to March 31, 1995.  The net
increase, primarily resulted from profitable operations and disposal of
aircraft, as reflected by a $1,659,000 decrease in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, partially offset by a $959,000 decrease in accounts
receivable. 

     In January 1995 the Company obtained an accounts receivable and inventory
financing line from a new bank lender.  The line, which provides credit, at
the lender's prime rate, in the aggregate of up to $2,250,000, extends to
January 1996.  Substantially all of the Company's non-aircraft assets have
been pledged as collateral under this financing and other loan arrangements. 
As of September 30, 1995, the Company was in a net investment position against
its credit line and had $1,013,000 available to borrow.  Management believes
that funds anticipated from operations and existing credit facilities will
provide adequate cash flow to meet the Company's future financial needs.
  
      The respective six-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
resulted in the following changes in cash flow:  operating activities provided
$665,000 and $2,132,000, investing activities provided $132,000 and used
$465,000 and financing activities used $467,000 and $177,000.  Net cash
increased $330,000 and $1,490,000 for the respective six-month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (cont'd)

   
      Cash provided by operating activities was $1,467,000 less for the six
months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the similar 1994 period.  This was
primarily due to reductions in accounts payable.  Cash provided by investing
activities for the six months ended September 30, 1995 was approximately
$597,000 more than the comparable period in 1994, principally due to the
acquisition of two aircraft in fiscal 1995 and the disposal of two aircraft in
fiscal 1996.  Cash used in financing activities was $290,000 more in the 1995
six month period due to the repurchase of common stock. 

      During the six months ended September 30, 1995 the Company repurchased
67,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $269,000.  Pursuant to
its previously announced stock repurchase program, $563,000 remains available
for repurchase of common stock.

     There are currently no commitments for significant capital expenditures
and none are anticipated during the current fiscal year.  The Company paid a
$.07 per share cash dividend in May 1995; no determination has been made
whether additional dividends will be paid in the future.


Impact of Inflation

     The Company believes the impact of inflation and changing prices on its
revenues and earnings is not material since the major cost components of its
operations, consisting principally of fuel, aircraft, crew and certain
maintenance costs are passed thru to its customer under current contract
terms.
