Global Aircraft Solutions Announces Sale of One 737-200 Aircraft to Pamir Airways

Pamir Airways has paid the purchase price in full, plus an additional non-refundable deposit of $500,000 for a second 737-200 Global aircraft. The second aircraft is also being sold for $2,300,000. Each aircraft purchased will be delivered with over $700,000 in new maintenance services, including fresh paint, a fresh heavy maintenance check, and other integration maintenance required by Pamir's regulatory agencies. The paint and integration maintenance will be provided by Global's wholly owned subsidiary Hamilton Aerospace Technologies, Inc. (HAT). All required parts will be provided by Global's wholly owned subsidiary World Jet. Work on the second 737-200 aircraft will begin only after receipt of payment in full of the fixed purchase price for that aircraft.

The purchase price paid by Pamir includes payments made to Global under a previous agreement on which Pamir defaulted. Global agreed to credit those previous payments to the current purchase price in exchange for Pamir agreeing to pay a premium on the new contract.

The Company also announced that it has applied $1,000,000 of the aircraft sale proceeds to its senior debt, which has now been paid down by nearly $2,500,000, to approximately $7.5 million, since the beginning of this year.

Alden Crowley, Director of International Sales for Global Aircraft Solutions, commented, "We are very pleased to have been able to get back on track with Pamir Airways and look forward to selling additional aircraft and aircraft parts to Pamir above and beyond these initial two aircraft."

John Sawyer, President of Global Aircraft Solutions, added, "This sale of another 737-200 aircraft from our ex-JetGlobal inventory has further enhanced our cash position and significantly reduced our senior debt. We look forward to continuing this positive trend by finalizing the sale of a third 737-200 in the near future."
