Air T Shareholders Approve Board, Pay and Deloitte as Rex Engine Constraints Persist

Air T (AIRT) shareholders approved the board, executive pay, and Deloitte as auditors. CEO Swenson discussed supply-chain issues affecting Rex Regional Airlines, noting engine part availability has improved but MRO capacity remains a constraint.
