"It is especially noteworthy that NCA is the second major carrier to independently
test, compare, and select our new B747-400 Special Freighter cargo loading
system in 2004, against the latest technology,� Hauner said. Earlier this year
Cathay Pacific Airways announced it would be the first-ever carrier to convert a
B747-400 Passenger aircraft into a Special Freighter, choosing to install Telair
equipment for this critical launch.

"We believe there is no better endorsement of the overall benefits of our system
in terms of weight savings, robust design and manufacturing, operational
excellence, and unparalleled customer support as confirmed by the thoroughly
informed decisions by Cathay Pacific and NCA.�

Telair International has served the airline industry for transforming itself into the
premier "one-stop shop� for all cargo-handling solutions - wide body cargo
loading, narrow body baggage loading system, cargo containment products,
aircraft actuators, aftermarket services, and most recently an expanding new line
