B/E Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq:BEAV), the world's leading
manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and a leading
aftermarket distributor of aerospace fasteners, today announced at the
Dubai Air Show that it has been selected by Emirates Airline to
retrofit Emirates' existing fleets of B777-300ER and A340-500 aircraft
with Super First Class cabins and next generation premium business
class seats. B/E Aerospace was also selected to supply similar
equipment for Emirates new-buy B777 and A380 aircraft. The awards for
both retrofit and new-buy aircraft are initially valued at more than
$130 million, not including option aircraft.
The Emirates Super First Class private suites, similar to the
suites that B/E Aerospace currently provides to Emirates, include a
fully-flat bed with in-seat massage, dine-on-demand room service,
in-suite personal mini bar, and sliding doors for the ultimate in
privacy. In addition, the suites include stowage room for hand
baggage, a personal wardrobe within the suite, fine leather upholstery
and a luxurious honey walnut finish. B/E Aerospace has worked very
closely with Emirates to create a "corporate business jet quality"
feel to the First Class cabin and to provide a highly individualized
sense of luxury.
The next generation premium business class seats that B/E will
provide will feature multi-zone massage seats that fully recline to a
78" long lie-flat bed, providing ample room for taller passengers.
These seats will ensure maximum personal space with high privacy
dividers.
In addition to the seating awards, B/E supplies Emirates all of
their cabin interior products including a wide variety of food
preparation and storage equipment, including beverage makers, ovens,
refrigeration and other related equipment for their wide-body
aircraft.
"We are honored to be selected by Emirates for these programs and
to expand our relationship with one of the most successful and highly
respected airlines in the world. With the awards announced today B/E
Aerospace has achieved over $350 million in Emirates orders to date.
We expect this trend to continue as a result of the recently announced
record $34 billion in Emirates new aircraft orders," said Amin J.
Khoury, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of B/E Aerospace, Inc.
"Emirates has set an industry standard for premium class service and
excellence, and we look forward to contributing our expertise and
experience to provide their passengers with the most comfortable and
innovative premium class experience possible."
