Inc. To Withdraw Its Common Stock, $.01 Par Value, From Listing and 
Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC File No. 1-07134

January 5, 2006.
    On December 13, 2005, Mercury Air Group, Inc., a Delaware 
corporation (``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, $.01 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the American Stock 
Exchange LLC (``Amex'').

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 16, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the 
Issuer unanimously approved resolutions to withdraw the Security from 
listing and registration on Amex. The Issuer stated that the Board is 
taking such action for the following reasons: (i) To eliminate the 
costs of compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and 
related regulations estimated to be up to $3,000,000 through June 30, 
2007 and approximately $500,000 per year thereafter; (ii) to reduce the 
limited time that management and other employees will have to spend to 
implement the Section 404 internal controls certificate provisions of 
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, thus enabling them to devote more of their time 
and energy to the Issuer's strategy and operations.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and 
providing written notice of withdrawal to Amex.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on the Amex and from registration under Section 
12(b) of the Act.\3\
