Exhibit 99.1

SAKER AVIATION SERVICES, INC. ANNOUNCES

1-FOR-30 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

New York, NY, February 28, 2019 – Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (OTCQB:SKAS) (the “Company”), an aviation services company specializing in ground-based services to the general aviation marketplace, announced today that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized and outstanding common and preferred stock, to be effective with the opening of trading on the OTCQB Marketplace on Friday, March 1, 2019. The Company’s ticker symbol, SKAS, will remain unchanged; however, a “D” will be appended as the 5th character to the ticker symbol for 20 business days including the effective date. The Company’s common stock will trade on the OTCQB Marketplace on a split-adjusted basis under the CUSIP number 79380Q 205.

On August 17, 2017, the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock approved the reverse stock split and gave the Board discretionary authority to select a ratio for the split ranging from 1-for-10 to 1-for-100. The Board approved the reverse stock split on a 1-for-30 ratio on February 14, 2019.

As a result of the reverse stock split, the total number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder on February 27, 2019 will be converted automatically into the number of whole shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock held by the stockholder immediately prior to the reverse stock split divided by 30. As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock will decrease to approximately 1.0 million post-split shares (prior to effecting the rounding of fractional shares into whole shares as described below) from approximately 30.2 million pre-split shares.

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the 1-for-30 reverse split ratio will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fractional share of the Company's common stock to round up to the next whole share.

The reverse stock split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split and correspondingly increase the respective exercise prices. The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some stockholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above.
