GLO Launches Inaugural Flights between Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport this Friday, March 25th Flights restores air service between Little Rock and Destin-Fort Walton Beach for first time since 2011 NEW ORLEANS, La. (March 24, 2016) – New Orleans-based GLO (Pronunciation: /ɡlō/) will restore nonstop, commercial air service between Little Rock and the Florida panhandle for the first time since 2011 as the inaugural flight between Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) launches on Friday, March 25th. This seasonal route, operating Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Labor Day Weekend, is the fourth for the Mid-South and Gulf regional air service startup, which also services Memphis and New Orleans. To celebrate its launch, GLO is offering promotional one-way $149 “GLOforIt” fares for all flights on this route through May 15, 2016. The fares include taxes, fees and up to three checked backs, plus a carryon. Leisure travelers can now spend more time with family and friends at the beach rather than approximately two days round-trip on the road or at a lengthy connection. The flight will last approximately 2 hours and 4 minutes. “We are thrilled to restore non-stop flights between Central Arkansas and the Florida panhandle,” said Trey Fayard, GLO’s Founder and CEO. “GLO’s mission is to provide fast, comfortable and convenient air service and that is just what our passengers have requested in re-connecting Little Rock and Destin-Fort Walton Beach. We’re looking forward to a great spring and summer.” GLO passengers will be able to enjoy a quality alternative to road travel or connecting flights with nonstop flights operated by Corporate Flight Management, Inc. (CFM). On-board service inside the 30passenger Saab 340B aircraft will include complimentary beverages and snacks. GLO’s seat pitch—also known as leg room—is one of the most spacious in the business, and passengers will also be treated to complimentary local publications. "We're pleased to see GLO grow at Clinton National Airport with this seasonal, non-stop service to Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport," said Ron Mathieu, executive director, Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. "We encourage all Arkansas residents to avoid the long drive by flying down to Florida's Emerald Coast and look forward to hosting Floridians in the Greater Little Rock area." The addition of this route increases Clinton National Airport’s number of nonstop destinations served to 14. At Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport, GLO is the 5th air service provider and brings the total number of nonstop destinations to 12. “We welcome GLO as one of our newest carriers and look forward to a successful season with direct service to Little Rock and visitors to the Emerald Coast,” said Tracy Stage, Airports Director, Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport. Ed Schroeder, Director, Emerald Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau, added, “This is a fabulous travel option for Little Rock vacationers eager to relax on the Emerald Coast. By cutting the travel time by

seven hours each way, beach goers can enjoy our Gulf-to-Table fresh seafood, thrilling attractions and the Florida’s best beaches for two extra days.” To book flights and find out more, please visit FlyGLO.com.

About GLO The Gulf and Mid-South regions are underserved by existing air carriers, leading to an overreliance on the road. The result is an enormous amount of time and productivity wasted driving to destinations that should have air service. GLO’s founder, Louisiana native Trey Fayard, experienced this lack of connectivity firsthand. He has spent more time than he would like to remember behind the wheel, traveling to locations that should be connected by non-stop air service. Founded in 2013, GLO is addressing these travel needs, offering multiple daily non-stop flights between its base in New Orleans and Shreveport, Little Rock and Memphis, plus seasonal service between DestinFort Walton Beach and Little Rock. All GLO flights are 14 CFR Part 380 public charters marketed by FlyGLO LLC d/b/a GLO and operated by Corporate Flight Management, Inc. (CFM) see Prospectus PC-15-188.
