Emirates Airline Selects B/E Aerospace for Premium Class Program Awards Initially Valued at Over $130 Million
Communiqué publié le 12/11/2007 à 17h56

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."
