Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Air T, Inc. presents a mixed ethical profile. Its air cargo operations, involving 103 leased aircraft, significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. The company targets a 12.5% carbon reduction by 2025 and 40% by 2035, investing in fuel efficiency and sustainable fuels, yet critics cite an inherent conflict with its business model. Additionally, Air T sells ground equipment to the US Air Force and services military transport aircraft, which critics link to "No War, No Weapons" concerns. Positively, it maintains a confidential financial concern hotline and reports over 90% of its offerings do not contain conflict minerals.
