INTRODUCTION

     This Amendment No. 5 (this “Final Amendment”) amends the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 initially filed by Landair Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (“Landair”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 9, 2003, as amended on January 13, 2003, January 22, 2003 and January 24, 2003 (the “Schedule 13E-3”). The Schedule 13E-3 and this Final Amendment relate to the tender offer by Scott M. Niswonger, John A. Tweed and Landair Acquisition Corporation (“Purchasers”), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $13.00 per share, net to the Seller in cash (the “Offer Price”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated December 23, 2002, as amended on January 13, 2003, January 16, 2003, January 17, 2003, January 21, 2003 and January 24, 2003 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the “Offer”). This Final Amendment is being filed on behalf of Landair. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13E-3.

     The purpose of this Final Amendment is to report the results of the tender offer and short form merger pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3).

     ITEMS 1 through 15.

     Items 1 through 15 are hereby amended and supplemented by including the following:

     The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Standard Time, on Thursday, January 23, 2003. Based upon information provided by the Depositary, 1,923,077 Shares were tendered pursuant to the offer and not withdrawn (including Shares tendered pursuant to a guarantee of delivery). Such tendered Shares, together with Shares owned by the Purchasers, represented approximately 97% of the Shares outstanding. The Purchasers accepted such tendered Shares and made payment to the Depositary. On February 28, 2003, Landair was merged (to be effective at 12:01 a.m., Central Standard Time, on March 1, 2003) with and into Landair Acquisition Corporation (the “Merger”) with Landair Acquisition Corporation continuing as the surviving corporation after the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding Share of Landair common stock (except for Shares owned by the Purchasers or stockholders exercising dissenters’ rights) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $13.00 per Share in cash, without interest thereon.
