Airbase Services

The commercial airline industry is going through the most
significant
structural change in fifty years. Restructuring, transnational
alliances, and a focused effort on reducing costs have
dramatically
and permanently, changed the landscape of our industry.

Airbase Services, Inc. is committed to the creating and managing
of
aircraft equipment partnerships with commercial airlines. There
are
three key aspects to those relationships: equipment, locations
and
customers. Our technical focus is on cabin and cargo hold
equipment: seats, IFE, phones, galley equipment and ULD`s. We
are the largest independent supplier of these maintenance
services in
the world. We maintain excellent relations with OEMs for spares
and documentation, and work closely with both the airline and the
OEM on warranty and design issues.

The second aspect of our business is locations. Currently, we
operate facilities in many North American cities:

ATL Atlanta
DFW Dallas
DTW Detroit
ORD (serves MDW) Chicago
EWR (serves JFK & LGA) Newark
MSP Minneapolis
DCA Washington DC (serves BWI & IAD)
PHX Phoenix
SEA Seattle
YUL Montreal
LAX (serves SNA & ONT) Los Angeles
YVR Vancouver
MIA Miami
YYC Calgary
YYZ Toronto
YHZ Halifax

All facilities are FAA or MOT approved repair stations. Most
stations support on-airport, field service teams and provide
convenient, daily pickup and delivery service.

The third and most important aspect of our business is our
partnership with the airlines. We work together to structure
long
term contracts in a variety of forms:

``Power by the hour``
Fixed price per period (weekly, monthly, etc.)
Fixed price per unit repaired
Fixed price per type of repair
Time and material

Through the use of our information collection and reporting
system,
we provide a variety of reports and analysis. We work closely
with
airlines to rationalize repair logistics, and together with the
OEMs,
drive down the cost of ownership. For example, we are active in
American Airline`s SE2000 program - the industry`s first vendor
management program devoted to optimizing the supply chain using
SPC, TQM and ISO tools.

Services

Airbase can perform many tasks for the airlines. Our largest
activities are centered on the repair stations. Within each
station we
can perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on equipment
such as:

F/C powered, B/C, and Y/C seat assemblies: return to
service, overhaul and major modification, including
STC
services
PMA plastic seat components
Galley inserts: coffee makers, ovens and special
equipment
Galley carts and structure
Phone systems
Video and audio systems
Fabric cut & sew: seat covers, curtains, etc.
ULDs: aluminum, Lexan, fibreglass & hybrid
Pallet rolling and welding

On-aircraft work includes:

Logbook sign off for interior and cargo items
Cabin avionics troubleshooting and LRU removal
Turnaround inspection and minor repair for all cabin
equipment
Cabin equipment servicing

Often we are called upon to provide special services such as bar-
coding, cleaning and modification. We also provide a variety of
ancillary services including inventory management, engineering
and
logistical support. In some commodities we can provide spares
support.
