EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement between World Airways, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("World" or the "Company") and Andrew Gilbert Morgan, Jr. ("Morgan") is entered
into this 1st day of June, 1999.

WHEREAS, Morgan has agreed to serve as World's President and Chief Operating
Officer as of June 1, 1999.

NOW, THEREFORE, World and Morgan, in consideration of the foregoing and other
mutual covenants and promises contained herein, the sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as follows:

1. ACCEPTANCE OF EMPLOYMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below, World agrees to employ Morgan and Morgan accepts such employment.

2. TERM. The period of employment shall be from June 1, 1999, through May 31,
2002, unless further extended or sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth. In
the absence of notice, this Agreement shall be renewed on the same terms and
conditions for one year from the date of expiration. Not later than November 1,
2001, Morgan shall initiate discussions with the Chairman of the Board
(hereinafter "Chairman") regarding the renewal of this Agreement. At that time,
if Morgan wishes to renew this Agreement on different terms, Morgan shall give
written notice to the Chairman. If the Chairman does not wish to renew this
Agreement at its expiration, or wishes to renew on different terms, the Chairman
shall give written notice to Morgan no later than November 30, 2001.

3. POSITION AND DUTIES. Morgan shall continue to serve as President and Chief
Operating Officer with the duties performed as of June 1, 1999, as those duties
may be changed from time to time. The Chairman will have reasonable latitude to
make changes in Morgan's responsibilities, except that Morgan's responsibilities
may not be modified in a way that would be inconsistent with the status of
President and Chief Operating Officer. Following a Change of Control (as
hereinafter defined), Morgan's responsibilities may not be changed without
mutual agreement. Morgan agrees to render his services to the best of his
abilities and will comply with all policies, rules and regulations of the
company and will advance and promote to the best of his ability the business and
welfare of the Company. Morgan shall devote all of his working time, attention,
knowledge and skills solely to the business and interests of World. Morgan may
not accept any other engagement with or without compensation which would affect
his ability to devote all of his working time and attention to the business and
affairs of World without the prior written approval of the Chairman of the
Board. Morgan agrees to accept assignments on behalf of World or affiliated
companies commensurate with his responsibilities hereunder, except that the
terms and conditions of assignments exceeding 60 consecutive days outside the
Washington, DC metropolitan area will require mutual agreement.

4.  COMPENSATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

(a) BASE SALARY. Morgan shall receive a minimum salary of $225,000 per annum
payable in accordance with the payroll procedures for World's salaried employees
in effect during the term of this Agreement. Morgan agrees to participate
equally, on a percentage basis, in any across the board salary reductions
approved by senior management.

(b) PERFORMANCE STOCK OPTIONS. Morgan has been granted 500,000 options to
purchase World's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share ("World Airways Common
Stock") pursuant to the 1995 World Airways Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") as set
forth in the Stock Option Agreement between World and Morgan dated June 1, 1999
(the "Option Agreement"). In the event of a Change in Control as defined below,
all options shall be immediately exercisable.

(c) BUSINESS EXPENSES. Morgan shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable
business related expenses from time to time consistent with World's policies,
including, without limitation, submitting in a timely manner appropriate
documentation of such expenses.

(d) MOVING EXPENSES. Morgan shall be entitled to moving expenses not to exceed
$30,000.

(e) FRINGE BENEFITS. Morgan shall be entitled to participate in all employee
benefit plans made available from time to time to all executives of World in
accordance with the terms of such plans. In the event this Agreement is
terminated by either party for any reason other than death or for cause, Morgan
may participate in World's health and other benefit programs for a period of one
year from the date of Morgan's termination, or until Morgan obtains comparable
coverage, whichever is earlier.

(f) PERSONNEL POLICIES, CONDITIONS AND BENEFITS. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Morgan's employment shall be subject to the personnel policies and
benefits plans which apply generally to World's employees as the same may be
interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time, during the term of
this Agreement, by World in its sole discretion. While this Agreement is in
effect, Morgan shall accrue vacation at the rate of one month per year and such
vacation shall be taken in accordance with the Company's procedures.

(g) INDEMNIFICATION; D&O INSURANCE. Subject to Section 6(f) of this Agreement,
World shall provide (or cause to be provided) to Morgan indemnification against
all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(including an action by or in the right of World) by reason of his being or
having been an officer, director or employee of World or any affiliated entity,
advance expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Morgan in defending any
such civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
and maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage (including
coverage for securities-related claims) upon substantially the same terms and
conditions as set forth in the Indemnification Agreement dated June 1, 1999,
between Morgan and World Airways, Inc. (the "Indemnity Agreement").

5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

         (a) DEATH. Morgan's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his
death, in which event World shall have no further obligation to Morgan or his
estate with respect to compensation, other than the disposition of life
insurance and related benefits and accrued and unpaid base salary and incentive
compensation, if any, for periods prior to the date of termination pursuant to
the terms of the respective employee benefits and incentive compensation plans
then in effect.

         (b) BY WORLD FOR DISABILITY. If Morgan is unable, or fails, to perform
services pursuant to this agreement through illness or physical or mental
disability and such failure or disability shall exist for twelve (12)
consecutive months, then World may terminate this Agreement upon written notice
to Morgan, in which event World shall have no obligation to Morgan with respect
to compensation under Section 4(a) of this Agreement. If Morgan becomes entitled
to Social Security benefits payable on account of disability, he will be deemed
conclusively to be disabled for purposes of this Agreement.

         (c)      BY WORLD FOR CAUSE.

                  (i) Except under the circumstances set forth in 5(c)(ii)
                  below, the Chairman of the Board may terminate this Agreement
                  for Cause. "Cause" shall be defined as (A) gross misconduct,
                  including significant acts or omissions constituting
                  dishonesty, intentional wrongdoing or malfeasance, whether or
                  not relating to the business of World, or (B) commission of a
                  felony or any crime involving fraud or dishonesty.

                  (ii) In the event of a Change of Control, as defined below,
                  Morgan may only be terminated for Cause pursuant to a
                  resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority
                  of the entire membership of the Board, at a meeting of the
                  Board finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board,
                  Morgan was guilty of conduct set forth in 5(c)(i)(A), or (B),
                  provided, however, that Morgan may not be terminated for Cause
                  hereunder unless: (1) Morgan receives prior written notice of
                  World's intention to terminate this Agreement for Cause and
                  the specific reasons therefore; and (2) Morgan has an
                  opportunity to be heard by World's Board and be given, if the
                  acts are correctable, a reasonable opportunity to correct the
                  act or acts (or non-action) giving rise to such written
                  notice. If the Board, by resolution duly adopted by the
                  affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the
                  Board, finds that Morgan fails to make such correction after
                  reasonable opportunity to do so, this Agreement may be
                  terminated for Cause.

(d) BY WORLD FOR OTHER THAN CAUSE. In the event the Board terminates this
Agreement for reasons other than Cause or Disability as defined in sub-paragraph
(c) above, World will pay to Morgan within ten (10) days of notice of
termination (or, in the case of incentive bonus compensation, if any, within ten
(10) days of determination of amounts payable under the applicable bonus plan)
twenty-four months base salary, in each case including deferred salary and/or
bonus compensation, if any, payable under this Agreement. In addition, all
granted but unvested stock options under the Option Agreements shall become
immediately exercisable. In the event that any payment to Morgan under this
paragraph is subject to any federal or state excise tax, World shall pay to
Morgan an additional amount equal to the excise tax imposed including additional
federal and state income and excise taxes as a result of the payments under this
paragraph, and such payment will be made when the excise tax and income taxes
are due; provided, however, that Morgan agrees to assist World Airways by using
his best efforts to structure matters so that any payment to Morgan under this
paragraph is not subject to any federal or state excise tax. Whether an excise
tax is payable, and the amount of the excise tax and additional income taxes
payable, shall be determined by World's accountants and World shall hold Morgan
harmless from any and all taxes, penalties, and interest that may become due as
a result of the failure to properly determine that an excise tax is payable or
the correct amount of the excise tax and additional income taxes, together with
all legal and accounting fees reasonably incurred by Morgan in connection with
any dispute with any taxing authority with respect to such determinations and/or
payments.

(e) BY MORGAN FOR GOOD REASON. Morgan may terminate his employment hereunder
(for purposes of this Agreement "Good Reason") after giving at least 30 days
notice in the event that, without Morgan's consent, (i) World relocates its
general and administrative offices or Morgan's place of employment to an area
other than the Washington, D.C. Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, (ii) he
is assigned any duties substantially inconsistent with Section 3 hereof, (iii)
World reduces his annual base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the
same may be increased from time to time, except as provided in Section 4(a)
above; (iv) World fails, without Morgan's consent, to pay Morgan any portion of
his current compensation, or to pay him any portion of an installment of
deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of World, within
seven (7) days of the date such compensation is due; (v) World fails to continue
in effect any compensation plan in which Morgan participates which is material
to Morgan=s total compensation, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an
ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan,
or to continue Morgan=s participation therein (or in such substitute or
alternative Plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the
amount of benefits provided and the level of Morgan's participation relative to
other participants; (vi) World fails to continue to provide Morgan with benefits
substantially similar to those enjoyed by Morgan under any of World's pension,
life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans in which
Morgan was participating, World takes any action which would directly or
indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive Morgan of any
material fringe benefit enjoyed by Morgan; (vii) World terminates, or proposes
to terminate, Morgan's employment hereunder contrary to the requirements of
Section 5(c) hereof (for purposes of this Agreement, no such termination or
purported termination shall be effective); or (viii) the Board approves the
liquidation or dissolution of World prior to the end of this Agreement. In the
event that Morgan decides to terminate this Agreement and his employment with
World or any successor in interest in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5(e), World shall have the same obligations as set forth in Section 5(d)
hereof. Any other payments due or actions required under this paragraph shall be
made as lump sums or taken within 10 days of termination of the Agreement.

         (f) BY MORGAN FOR OTHER THAN GOOD REASON. Notwithstanding the above,
Morgan may upon giving reasonable notice, not to be less than six months,
terminate this Agreement without further obligation on the part of Morgan or
World.

         (g) CHANGES OF CONTROL. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of
Control" includes the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:

         (i) any Person, other than the Company, is or becomes the Beneficial

         securities of World representing more than 50% of the combined voting
         power of World's then outstanding securities; or

         (ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any
         period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at
         the beginning of such period constitute the Board of World and any new

         into an agreement with World to effect a transaction described in
         clause (i), (iii) or (iv) or this Section 5 (f)) whose election by the
         Board of World or nomination for election by the stockholders of World
         was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors
         then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the
         period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
         approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or

         (iii) the shareholders of World approve a merger or consolidation of
         World with any other corporation, other than (A) a merger or
         consolidation which would result in the voting securities of World
         outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either
         by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of
         the surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee
         or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
         World or any of its affiliates, at least 50% of the combined voting
         power of the voting securities of World or such surviving entity
         outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (B) a
         merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of
         World (or similar transaction) in which no Person acquires more than
         50% of the combined voting power of World's then outstanding
         securities; or

         (iv) the shareholders of World approve a plan of complete liquidation
         of World or an agreement for the sale or disposition by World of all or
         substantially all of World's assets.

         (h) "PERSON" DEFINED. For purposes of this Section, "Person" shall have
the meaning given in Section (3)(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof; however, a Person shall not include (i)

         (j) COMPANY PROPERTY. At the termination of Morgan's employment,
whether voluntary or involuntary, Morgan shall return all company property,
including without limitation all electronic and paper files and documents and
all copies thereof.

6.CONFIDENTIALITY.

         (a) Morgan recognizes and acknowledges that he will acquire during his
employment with World information that is confidential to World and that
represents valuable, special and unique assets of World ("Confidential
Information"). Such Confidential Information (whether or not reduced to tangible
form) includes, but is not limited to: trade secrets; financing documents and
information; financial data; new product information; copyrights; information
relating to schedules and locations; cost and pricing information; performance
features; business techniques; business methods; business and marketing plans or
strategies; business dealings and arrangements; business objectives; customer
information; sales information; acquisition, merger or business development
plans or strategies; research and development projects; legal documents and
information; personnel information; and any and all other information concerning
World's business and business practices that is not generally known or made
available to the public or to World's competitors or is not readily
ascertainable by other means, which, if misused or disclosed, could adversely
affect the business of World. Morgan agrees that he will not, during employment
with World and for a period of two (2) years following termination of employment
for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without Cause,
directly or indirectly:

         (i) disclose any Confidential Information to any person, company or
         other entity (other than authorized persons employed by or affiliated
         with World who, in the interest of World, have a business need to know
         such information), or

         (ii) use any Confidential Information in any way, except as required by
         his duties to World or by law, unless he obtains World's prior written
         approval of such disclosure or use. World's rights under this Section
         shall be cumulative to, and shall not limit, World's rights under the
         Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act or any other state or federal trade
         secret or unfair competition statute or law. The parties hereto
         stipulate that as between them, the foregoing matters are important,
         material, and confidential and gravely affect the successful conduct of
         the business of World, and World's good will, and that any breach of
         the terms of this paragraph shall be a material breach of this
         Agreement.

         (b) Section 4(f) of this Agreement and any other indemnity agreements
between Morgan and World shall not apply to actions, suits or proceedings to
enforce World's rights under, or that otherwise relate to, this Agreement,
including without limitation, this Section 6.

         (c) References in this Section 6 to "World" include World Airways, Inc.
and any and all of its current or future parents, subsidiaries, affiliated
companies, and divisions.

7. BENEFICIARY. The Beneficiary of any payment due and payable at the time of
Morgan's death, or otherwise due upon his death, shall be such person or persons
as Morgan shall designate in writing to World. If no such beneficiary shall
survive Morgan, any such payments shall be made to his estate.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

         (a) Any improvements, new techniques, processes, inventions, works,
discoveries, products or copyrightable or patentable materials made or conceived
by Morgan, either solely or jointly with other person(s), (1) during Morgan's
period of employment by World, during working hours; (2) during the period after
termination of his employment during which he is retained by World as a
consultant; or (3) with use of World's intellectual property or Confidential
Information, shall be the sole and exclusive property of World without royalty
or other consideration to Morgan.

         (b) Morgan agrees to inform World promptly and in full of such
intellectual property by a full written report setting forth in detail the
procedures used and the results achieved.

         (c) Morgan shall at World's request and expense execute any and all
applications, assignments, or other instruments which World shall deem necessary
to apply for, register, and/or obtain copyrights or Letters Patent of the United
States or of any foreign country, or to otherwise protect World's interests in
such intellectual property.

         (d) Morgan shall assign and does hereby assign to World all interests
and rights, including but not limited to copyrights, in any such intellectual
property.

9. NO WAIVER. The failure of either party at any time to enforce any provisions
of this Agreement or to exercise any remedy, option, right, power or privilege
provided for herein, or to require the performance by the other party of any of
the provisions hereof, shall in no way be deemed a waiver of such provision at
the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

10. GOVERNING LAW. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
application and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of
Virginia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law
of any jurisdiction other than Virginia. Morgan agrees to submit to personal
jurisdiction in the State of Virginia.

11. VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions
of this Agreement shall not be deemed to affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.

12. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
World, its successors and assigns, including any corporation or other business
entity which may acquire all or substantially all of World's assets or business,
or within which World may be consolidated or merged, or any surviving
corporation in a merger involving World.

13. WAIVER OF MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT. No waiver or modification of this
Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and duly executed by both parties.

14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the
date and year first above written.
