Exhibit 99.1

Gulfstream International Group, Inc. Notified by NYSE Amex

of Continued Listing Standards Non-Compliance

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, May 13, 2009  Gulfstream International Group, Inc. (the Company) (NYSE Amex: GIA) today announced that on May 12, 2009, it received a deficiency letter from the NYSE Amex LLC (the NYSE Amex, which is the successor to the American Stock Exchange) indicating that, based on a review of publicly available information, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders equity requirements for continued listing on the NYSE Amex as set forth in Section 1003(a) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide. The Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide with stockholders equity of less than $2,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and net losses in its two most recent fiscal years.

The Company has been afforded the opportunity to provide, by June 12, 2009, a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all of the NYSE Amexs listing requirements (the Plan), including a time frame for regaining compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide within 18 months or by November 12, 2010 (the Plan Period). If NYSE Amex accepts the Plan, the Company may be able to continue its listing during the Plan Period, during which time the Company will be subject to periodic review to determine if it is making progress consistent with the Plan. If the Company does not submit a Plan, or if the Plan is not accepted, the Company will be subject to delisting proceedings. The Company may appeal a Staff determination to initiate delisting proceedings.

The Company currently intends to prepare and submit a Plan within the time frame required by the NYSE Amex. However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to complete and timely file the Plan, that the Plan will be accepted by NYSE Amex, or that the Company will be able to make progress consistent with the Plan if it is accepted. Prior to filing the Plan and, if the Plan is timely filed, while the Plan is under review by NYSE Amex, the Company expects that its common stock will continue to trade without interruption on NYSE Amex; however, the trading symbol for the Companys Common Stock will have an indicator (.BC) added as an extension to signify noncompliance with the continued listing standards. Within five days of the date of the May 12, 2009 letter from NYSE Amex, the Company will be included in a list on the NYSE Amex website of issuers that do not comply with the listing standards. The .BC indicator will remain as an extension on the Companys trading symbol until it has regained compliance with all applicable continued listing standards.
