Kitty Hawk, Inc. (AMEX:KHK) announced today that it has entered into a new $20 million revolving line of credit with PNC Bank. The new credit facility immediately expands the Company's credit facility capacity to $20 million from $15 million under the Company's former line of credit and provides for additional expansion in the future. Similar to the Company's former line of credit, borrowings under the new credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation. The Company plans to use funds from the credit facility to fund working capital and continue to build Kitty Hawk's coast-to-coast expedited ground freight transportation network. "This agreement represents a major milestone for Kitty Hawk," said Robert W. Zoller, President and CEO. "PNC is a very well regarded financial institution with significant experience in our industry. Their commitment to Kitty Hawk illustrates their confidence in our financial condition, progress, and strategic initiatives as well as the Company's long-term potential as the only independent air and ground freight transportation network in North America. Through the new credit facility, PNC is providing Kitty Hawk increased flexibility that will allow us to speed integration of our recently closed Asset Purchase Agreement with Air Container Transport, Inc. (ACT). The new credit facility creates a platform for other operational initiatives that will compliment our ground and air businesses and we believe the addition of this new facility, combined with our existing cash, provides us with the financial resources required to complete investment in our expedited ground freight transportation network, as well as achieve profitability."
