<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">On September 21, 2018, Alvin S. Trenk informed the Board of Directors of Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) of his resignation from the position of Chief Executive Officer for the Company and as a member of its Board of Directors, effective immediately.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">On the same date, the Company&rsquo;s Board of Directors elected Samuel D. Goldstein to serve the balance of Mr. Trenk&rsquo;s term and to stand for reelection at the Company&rsquo;s upcoming annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Goldstein, age 40, has served since 2014, and continues to serve, as Deputy Director of the Helicopter Tourism and Jobs Council (&ldquo;HTJC&rdquo;). During this time, HTJC successfully negotiated a settlement with the City of New York enabling the helicopter air tour industry to continue operations. During this time, Mr. Goldstein also served Kivvit Public Affairs (2017-2018) and prior (2008-2013), Mr. Goldstein was the director of government relations for Selfhelp Community Services, one of New York&rsquo;s largest senior housing and social service organizations. The Board of Directors believes Mr. Goldstein&rsquo;s industry exposure and outreach skills, showcased while at HTJC, make him a valuable addition to the Board of Directors.</p>

Mr. Goldstein, age 40, has served since 2014, and continues to serve, as Deputy Director of the Helicopter Tourism and Jobs Council ("HTJC").
