A British Airways $150 million+ fleet-wide business class retrofit program covering all long-haul aircraft

A $155 million retrofit program for a major international airline covering both wide-body premium and premium coach cabins, and program integration services

A $100 million super first class program for Emirates Airlines for their A380 and B777 aircraft

A Qantas Airways $90 million retrofit covering B747 business class plus first class and business class on A380 aircraft

There were also a number of additional significant programs for Air France, Lufthansa, Japan Airlines, and Korean Airlines, all among the largest airlines in the world.

``We are particularly encouraged by the continued strong RFQ activity and ongoing discussions with our customers. Virtually every major international airline is either in the process of upgrading the premium class compartments of their international fleets of twin-aisle aircraft or are in discussions to do so. The upgrade discussions include reconfiguration and integration engineering programs, premium class seating, food and beverage preparation and storage equipment and mood lighting products. Additionally, the international airlines are now beginning to address not only their coach compartment retrofit needs but also their premium class and coach class requirements for their new buy wide-body aircraft. Cabin interiors for wide-body aircraft require five to eight times the dollar value of the cabin interior equipment used to outfit narrow-body aircraft. Industry experts anticipate that Boeing and Airbus will ship approximately 950 wide-body and super wide-body aircraft over the four year period from 2007 through 2010. The scheduled deliveries of these wide-body aircraft coupled with the strong demand for aftermarket retrofit programs and the continued recovery in the business jet sector bode well for continued strong revenue growth for at least the next three years,`` concluded Mr. Khoury.
