Air Transport Services Group, a company that helps move cargo in planes, did not make as much money as people thought they would in the last three months. They made 19 cents for every share of the company, which is much less than the 26 cents they made in the same time last year. They also did not make as much money from their customers as people thought they would.

One reason they did not make as much money is that they did not fly as many planes as before. They had some problems with their planes and also had to spend money to get ready for more flights in the future.

But they are still hopeful and think they will make more money this year than they thought before. They are working on getting more planes and have some new contracts to fly more cargo for other companies. Read from source...
