FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Basta Holdings Corp. (OTCBB:BSTA), an aviation services and logistics management company, today announced that it booked $959,981 in revenues during the month of March 2014.
Although there is no guarantee that Basta Holdings will generate this income in the future, its revenue for March 2014 is putting the Company on pace to generate at least approximately $11.5 million in anticipated annual revenues.
As previously reported, on January 31, 2014 Basta Holdings entered into an agreement with WAB International, Inc., a provider of heavy helicopter long-term charter and logistics management services, to assume the management of specific aviation service contracts that generated approximately $70 million in revenue in 2013 between WAB and its affiliated group of companies.
Also as previously reported, on January 31, 2014, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Monarch Air Group, LLC, a provider of aircraft and crew management services for rotary and fixed wing aircraft as well as chartering on-demand private, corporate and luxury flights.
March 2014 represented the first month of revenue-generating operations for Basta Holdings following these agreements. Additionally, the Company is in negotiations with major aviation companies in China and Africa and plans to expand its long-term heavy helicopter leasing business and establish joint ventures in the acquisition and development of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities. Management also expects to enter into long-term aircraft leases and acquire additional assets to increase the size and efficiency of its fixed-based operator (FBO) operations.
“Basta Holdings is pleased to report strong initial revenues from our recent partnerships in the fields of heavy helicopter leasing and private aviation and we anticipate these will generate multi-million dollar annual revenues for the Company. These agreements serve as a solid foundation as Basta Holdings establishes itself as a leading international provider of independent aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services,” stated Jacob Gitman, Ph,D., President of Basta Holdings Corp.
“This is a very exciting time for our shareholders as the company plans to experience significant growth in 2014. The soaring worldwide demand for commercial jet transport fleet provide a tremendous market opportunity for Basta Holdings, particularly in the US and China. We believe our unique, market-changing MRO business model will allow the Company to rapidly acquire a significant market share and sustain long-term growth,” continued Dr. Gitman.
