WILMINGTON, Ohio - May 1, 2007 - ABX Air (NASDAQ:ABXA) reported today that it entered into an ACMI Agreement to operate two 767-200 aircraft for All Nippon Airways Co. (ANA).

"The Asian economy is the fastest growing market in the world, and this agreement underscores ABX's commitment to grow its presence as an international provider of aircraft and aircraft-related services."
