Seattle December 20, 2006 - The Boeing Company is pleased that Royal Jordanian Airlines has announced its selection of the 787 Dreamliner as the new cornerstone of its long-haul, wide-bodied fleet operations.

"The Middle East is a high-value market for Boeing and we believe the 787's technological advantages and enhanced passenger amenities are well suited to our customers in the region," said Lee Monson, vice president of Sales for The Middle East and Africa. "We're proud to have one of the Middle East's most respected airlines become the first carrier in the region to select the Dreamliner and we look forward to seeing Royal Jordanian's distinguished touch in the outfitting of these airplanes."

Royal Jordanian, which is expected to officially join the oneworld airline alliance early in 2007, serves a route network of 52 destinations on four continents. The airline currently serves its long-haul network with nonstop direct flights from Amman to Bangkok in the Far East and to New York, Chicago and Detroit in the USA. Royal Jordanian will add direct service to Montreal in Canada beginning in June 2007.

Hanoi December 20, 2006 - The Boeing Company, in conjunction with the ABET, Inc., sponsored three workshops during the past week to assist Vietnamese universities with accreditation requirements for engineering education.

The final workshop was held today at Hanoi University of Technology, following additional sessions at the University of Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh University of Technology.

The sessions highlight the objectives and process of accreditation, which will allow curriculum planning that will enhance engineering and high-technology programs in Vietnam. Workshop attendees actively participate in the exercises to design or modify an existing curriculum, examine the student advising system, evaluate laboratory requirements and institute programs to help faculty members improve their expertise and teaching methods.

Vietnam traditionally has a strong focus on high-quality education, and accreditation is important in assuring that abilities of Vietnamese university graduates are accepted and that they are able to compete in global engineering and high-technology markets.

The workshops are led by Patricia Daniels, Ph.D., associate dean of Science and Engineering and professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seattle University, and Mani Soma, Ph.D., associate vice provost for Research and professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington.

ABET, Inc., is the recognized U.S. accreditation agency for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology. Accreditation ensures the quality of the post-secondary education students receive.

Boeing is a strong supporter of education to benefit people in all walks of life and has been active in Vietnam with a recent series of information technology seminars, as well as the promotion of relationships between U.S. and Vietnamese universities.

Accreditation is a continuous quality-improvement process, and the Boeing/ABET workshops provide the initial step toward a structured approach to engineering education in Vietnam. After the workshop, participants should be able to examine their schools' engineering programs in depth, consult with industry and government partners in educational objectives, revise curricula, and begin a coordinated plan to improve the quality of engineering education offered to the students.

Additionally, Boeing will continue to work with ABET and Vietnamese universities to create action plans and to determine topics and schedules for future workshops.

"The move to a universally accepted accreditation process will provide a significant benefit to Vietnamese students and universities," said Patrick Antony, corporate director, Enterprise University Relations for Boeing, and the company's representative to ABET. "For Vietnamese engineers and companies to compete globally, the world must be able to see that international standards of education are being applied."

Boeing, as the world's largest aerospace company, has a long tradition of industry leadership and technology development. The company is a leader in large-scale systems integration, requiring significant talent and innovation in engineering and high-technology-related activities. This industry leadership puts Boeing in the unique position to provide assistance in the development of Vietnam's high-technology capabilities.

Including the new 737 order, KLM will operate a fleet totaling 29 Next-Generation 737s, a combination of -800 and -900 models, of which 19 are currently operating in the KLM fleet. Deliveries will continue through 2008. KLM also operates 27 737-300s and 737-400s.

The 737-800, the best-selling version of the successful Next-Generation 737 family, incorporates an advanced-technology wing design that helps increase fuel capacity and efficiency, both of which increase range. The 737-800 is powered by CFM56-7 engines produced by CFMI, a joint venture of General Electric Co. of the U.S. and Snecma of France. The engines meet community noise restrictions well below current Stage 3 limits and below expected Stage 4 limits.

Seattle December 21, 2006 - The Boeing Company's more than 68,000 Puget Sound area employees have opened their hearts and wallets to provide more than a little Spirit of the Holidays for thousands of people in need, including seniors and families.

Boeing's Washington-based employees, primarily through the Employees Community Fund of Puget Sound, have voluntarily participated in several employee-driven food and gift drives designed to help disadvantaged seniors and families during the holidays, including children who are cared for under the auspices of the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS).

The "Spirit of the Holidays" combines three different employee volunteer drives -- Adopt-A-Family, Child's Delight, and Adopt-A Stocking. Each program works to help people in the community who might not otherwise receive gifts or special meals during the holiday season.

Bob Watt, Boeing vice president of Government Relations and Global Corporate Citizenship, said the seniors and families who received the benefits were referred by local nonprofit groups that are helping them improve their situations.

"The Boeing Company's Puget Sound-based employee volunteers are well-known for giving generously of themselves during the holiday season and throughout the year," Watt said. "In 2005, Boeing provided more than $45 million dollars of support to nonprofits in the state of Washington -- through our corporate giving, employees, and retirees. At Boeing, we're in the business of bringing people together. I'm truly proud of our employees because they are actively committed to improving the quality of life for everyone in Washington."

Boeing's Child's Delight program allowed Boeing Puget Sound employees to provide gifts for 2,964 children currently in the DSHS system. Boeing's Adopt-A-Family program employee volunteers provided gifts and food for 628 local families, including 936 adults, 1,689 children and 801 low-income seniors. The Adopt-A-Stocking program let employee volunteers fill more than 7,000 stockings with gifts for children, adults and seniors.

Boeing employees took part individually or in groups to shop for holiday gifts, often getting together to wrap gifts during lunch or after work.

During the company's annual regional Food & Essentials Drive held in the fall, Boeing Puget Sound employees also donated 70,860 pounds of food -- or the equivalent of 480,094 meals -- that fed the hungry in local communities. Employees also gave generously online by donating $42,473. The donations went to food banks throughout western Washington supported by Food Lifeline, Emergency Food Network and Northwest Harvest.

In Tacoma, the Emergency Food Network leveraged the more than $8,700 in employee donations, which allowed the agency to distribute 83,200 meals to the tables of hungry children and families in Pierce County.

Good corporate citizenship is a core value at The Boeing Company, and includes strategic philanthropy (including cash grants, in-kind and surplus donations and contributions of intellectual capital), volunteerism, employee drives, gift matching programs, the Employees Community Fund of The Boeing Company, and disaster relief, as well as philanthropy-related sponsorships, business contributions and business sponsorships. Boeing's corporate citizenship activities are site-based and extend to 27 states in the U.S., 14 other countries, and four international regions where Boeing has a presence.

St Louis December 21, 2006 - Boeing test pilots today took the first KC-767 Tanker slated for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) on its maiden flight.

Set to make history as Japan's first aerial-refueling platform when delivered in February 2007, the aircraft lifted off from McConnell Air Force Base, Wichita, Kan., adjacent to the Boeing Integrated Defense Systems Wichita facility, and logged a three-hour and 30 minute flight before employees, customers and suppliers.

"This first flight represents an enormous step in meeting Japan's strategic self-defense needs," said Maj. Kenji Nagatomo, Japan on-site Tanker program liaison. "We are looking forward to having our first KC-767 enter service in 2007. The aircraft has great flexibility in its aerial refueling and cargo capabilities, and will help Japan provide aid to the world's population during major natural disasters."

The Japan KC-767 Tanker is a military derivative of the proven 767-200 commercial airplane and was selected over its competitor, the Airbus A-310, in direct competition in 2001. It has been configured with the advanced Boeing air refueling boom and Remote Aerial Refueling Operator (RARO II) system.

"This advanced tanker will provide the Japanese unrivaled tanker capability and operational flexibility," said Joe Shaheen, director of Boeing International Tanker Programs. "Leveraging more than 540 hours and 180 flights on our Italian KC-767 in flight test, this KC-767 will be a low-risk, high-demand asset for the Japanese military."

Under contract to receive four KC-767 Tankers, the JASDF has selected the convertible freighter configuration, which will provide flexibility in carrying cargo or passengers, while maintaining its primary role as an aerial tanker.

Boeing also recently completed critical Federal Aviation Administration certifications on the first KC-767 for Italy, and will deliver the first two of four tankers to that country in 2007. In addition to flight-testing the KC-767 for international customers, Boeing is competing for a contract to build 179 next-generation tankers for the U.S. Air Force as they replace their KC-135 fleet under the KC-X acquisition program next year.

Everett WA December 22, 2006 - Pakistan International Airlines today took delivery of its first of three Boeing 777-300ERs on order. The newest member of PIA's long-haul, wide-body fleet departed Paine Field this morning en route to its new home base at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.

PIA is one of the first airlines to have ordered and taken delivery of three variants of Boeing's highly successful 777 family, and the airline was the launch customer for the 777-200LR (Longer Range). PIA currently has three 777-200ERs and two 777-200LRs in operation and will take delivery in February of a second 777-300ER, as well as an additional 777-200ER on lease from ILFC.

PIA's first 777-300ER (shown here departing Paine Field) incorporates a unique tail schematic that is representative of the Sind southern province of Pakistan, with Karachi being the provincial capital. The airline has outfitted its 777-200LRs with similar tail designs representing other major Pakistan provinces.

"PIA is a very important Boeing customer and it's rewarding to see the airline receive its first 777-300ER," said Miguel Santos, Boeing Commercial Airplanes international sales director. "We're proud to see the beautiful tail designs representing Pakistan's major provinces all flying on Boeing 777s."

Bogota December 22, 2006 - AeroRepublica, subsidiary of Copa Holdings, S.A., today announced the delivery of its first EMBRAER 190 Aircraft. With this delivery AeroRepublica becomes the first airline in the domestic Colombian market to operate this new aircraft.

"The EMBRAER 190 also offers us the opportunity to balance capacity and demand, which we need as part of our operational and expansion plan."

"The incorporation of the new EMBRAER 190, which will replace AeroRepublica's fleet of MD-80 aircraft, is one of the principal initiatives of the airline's strategic plan," stated Pedro Heilbron, CEO, Copa Holdings S.A. "This aircraft is ideal for this market in terms of capacity and efficiency, and is a truly attractive product for the Colombian traveler and for the entire region."

"Colombia is the third-largest air travel market in Latin America and I am pleased to see our 100-plus seat aircraft operating in the region," said Mauricio Botelho, Embraer Chairman, President and CEO. "Embraer has always recognized the tremendous growth potential in South America and we are honored to have AeroRepublica as the newest member of our family of E-Jet operators."

Burlingame CA December 22, 2006 - Virgin America has completed the last formal step in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) airline certification review - that of flight proving runs. As a result, the airline now only awaits approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) before they can begin operations.

As part of any new airline's regulatory review process, the FAA performs a comprehensive safety review and first examines all aspects of a new carrier's safety programs, operations manuals, training procedures, and personnel qualifications. They then use tabletop operations exercises, aircraft evacuations, and actual flights to test the safety effectiveness of airline flight crews and management in simulated real world scenarios. The "proving run" flights are the final step in this Systems Safety and operational review process, and Virgin America was required to fly aircraft and FAA examiners on flights to and from San Francisco, New York, and other airports.

Virgin America is the first new airline to be certified through the FAA's new Air Transportation and Oversight System (ATOS) compliant certification procedures. ATOS is the FAA's newest and most advanced safety surveillance program.

Upon completion of the flight proving runs, FAA officials praised Virgin America's performance as exemplary. The airline said one FAA official noted, "I have done 35 certifications and by far this was the best I've ever seen."

Virgin America's Senior Vice President of Flight Operations Bob Weatherly praised the airline's operations personnel following the final test flight. "This is an outstanding team - the likes of which I've never seen in my 30 plus years in the airline industry. I want to commend them all for their outstanding teamwork, expertise, skill and performance in successfully accomplishing this intensive Systems Safety and operational review."

Virgin America now awaits its show cause order from DOT. This order is expected to outline any remaining issues that must be addressed before the DOT will issue a final order that permits the company to begin passenger operations.

Virgin America hopes to commence service in the Spring of 2007 from its home base at San Francisco International Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. The airline now has a team of 169 employees and has taken delivery of nine aircraft.

San Francisco December 22, 2006 - Cathay Pacific Airways, one of the world's leading passenger and cargo airlines, announced that it carried the 100 millionth air traveler in 2006 to use the three major airports of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The Port Authority's lucky 100 millionth passenger, Liang Chen, arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Wednesday, December 20 aboard Cathay Pacific Flight 830 non-stop from Hong Kong.

According to Cathay Pacific Vice President Sales and Marketing Americas Scott Mowrer, the honor of carrying the 100 millionth passenger to arrive at one of the Port Authority's three major airports, which also include Newark Liberty International and LaGuardia Airport, was especially meaningful as the airline concludes its 60th anniversary year and 10 years of servicing John F. Kennedy International.

"We're extremely proud to have been the airline to carry the Port Authority's historic 100 millionth air traveler in 2006," said Mowrer. "Our team was thrilled to be a part of this occasion and really appreciated the opportunity to work with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on celebrating Mrs. Chen's arrival in a special way."

He continued, "Our executives and staff extend congratulations to the Port Authority and its three regional airports-John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International and LaGuardia-on achieving this major milestone. We're very committed to the region and enjoy a great partnership with the Port. Certainly, we're looking forward to growing our presence here in the near future."

Mowrer said that the airline had enjoyed its own share of excitement with a number of important milestones over the past year. "Cathay Pacific's significant developments over the last 12 months have included considerable network expansion, our largest ever fleet order and announcement of an unparalleled and innovative new product. Our delivery of the 100 millionth passenger into the Port of New York and New Jersey airports was a terrific way to complete the year," he said.

On September 28, 2006, the award-winning airline made aviation history with the conclusion of the acquisition of Dragonair and approval granted on a much closer partnership with Air China.

Mowrer explained, "This exciting outcome has created one of the world's strongest airline groupings. Connections and networks to China are now second to none with more destinations, more frequencies, improved flight connectivity, and greater travel choices for passengers to and from Mainland China."

Cathay Pacific has also received multiple airline awards and accolades this year, the most recent being top ranking on Forbes' 'Best First Class Airlines' list. In early 2006, Cathay Pacific was awarded 'Airline of the Year' by Air Transport World.

Embraer E-Jet Operator Family Now Includes Kenya Airways

Sao Jose Dos Campos, Brazil December 22, 2006 - Embraer announced that Kenya Airways has chosen to add the EMBRAER 170 to its current fleet, continuing its network expansion. The airline, based in Nairobi, Kenya, will operate three EMBRAER 170 jets under an operating lease with GE Commercial Aviation Services' (GECAS) existing orders. There will be no changes in Embraer's orderbook due to this announcement.

The company intends to deploy the aircraft in its growing domestic market, replacing turboprops, and on some of its significant medium-haul routes. The aircraft will be configured in a comfortable single-class 72-passenger layout with a 32-inch pitch (81cm).

Beijing December 21, 2006 - Mesa Air Group Inc. today signed a Joint Venture agreement with Shenzhen Airlines to create a Chinese regional airline, the name of which is yet to be determined. The new airline is expected to commence scheduled services within 12 months, initially operating 50-seat regional jets on domestic routes within the People's Republic of China. Focus cities for the new services will include Shenzhen, Beijing, Chongqing, Xiamen, Nanjing, Kunming, Dalian, Shenyang, Xian, Zhengzhou and Nanning.

Mesa Air Group Chairman and CEO, Jonathan Ornstein said, "We are delighted and privileged to be the first US passenger airline to form a strategic alliance to create a new airline to operate in The People's Republic of China. Under the leadership of its President Mr. Li Kun, Shenzhen Airlines has earned an outstanding reputation in the industry with its modern fleet of Boeing and Airbus aircraft. We at Mesa look forward to making a positive contribution to the development of the regional airline industry in China and to forging a strong, long-term relationship with our friends at Shenzhen Airlines."

Shenzhen Airlines was founded in 1992 and currently operates a fleet of 45 new generation A320 and B737 aircraft, flying 100 routes within mainland China and South East Asia. The company has carried nearly 5.3 million passengers this year, employs 6300 people and is headquartered in the metropolis of Shenzhen, in southern China's Guangdong Province.

Shenzhen Airlines President Li Kun said, "Today represents an important milestone for our company as through this joint venture we extend our service to many smaller communities throughout the country. Mesa's experience and reputation as a leader in the regional airline industry make it the perfect choice to partner with us in launching this new regional airline. I wish to thank Jonathan and his team for their enthusiastic support and look forward to a long and successful partnership as together we work to build a world class regional airline."

China currently has just 70 regional jets in operation, flying for seven different carriers. The new carrier, Beijing Airlines, expects to have 20 50-seat regional jets in service prior to the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, growing to more than 100 planes within five years, comprising a mix of 50, 70 and 90 seat regional jet aircraft.

Commenting further on the joint venture from Beijing, Ornstein said, "Mesa will initially provide significant technical capability, including pilot, maintenance and operations support and training, as well as the sourcing of aircraft. We see this new partnership as a great opportunity to continue growing our business and further diversify our airline operations. The potential for Mesa to grow our business with Shenzhen Airlines through this partnership is significant. With a population of more than 1.2 billion people, China is the world's fastest growing air travel market. There are currently 134 airports with plans to grow that number to 200 over the next ten years. Furthermore, 40 of the 50 largest airports have expansion projects underway or planned."

Fort Worth December 21, 2006 - American Airlines today announced it has applied to the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) for authorization to begin codeshare cooperation with Royal Jordanian Airlines. The application proposes that codesharing operations begin on March 25, 2007.

Under the proposal, Royal Jordanian would place its RJ designator code on 15 of American's key domestic routes out of both New York's JFK International Airport, as well as to and from American's hub at Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

In turn, American would place its AA designator code on Royal Jordanian flights to Amman, Jordan, from Chicago, New York, London, Paris, and Frankfurt. Other codeshared flights on Royal Jordanian would include flights from Amman, Jordan, to Aqaba, Jordan, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

"Royal Jordanian is a high-quality, world-class airline that will provide our passengers and shippers additional choices and convenient service to Jordan and elsewhere in the Middle East," said Henry Joyner, American's Senior Vice President -- Planning. "In 2007 Royal Jordanian will also become a member of the oneworld(R) Alliance and all that it offers to customers throughout the world."

Joyner noted that American is a founding member of the global oneworld(R) Alliance.

Honolulu December 21, 2006 - Hawaiian Holdings, Inc., parent company of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian"), today announced that Hawaiian has finalized the purchase of three Boeing 767-300ER aircraft previously leased from an affiliate of AWAS Aviation Services, Inc. ("AWAS") and has amended the lease agreements for four other aircraft leased from AWAS. These transactions reflect the consummation of an agreement between Hawaiian and AWAS that was previously announced as a letter of intent in November, subject to financing. Hawaiian's acquisition of the three aircraft was financed through the use of cash as well as the issuance of new debt. The amended leases remove a provision of the previous agreements that allowed AWAS to exercise early termination options beginning in 2007, shorten the terms of the leases and adjust the lease rates.

"We are extremely pleased to have finalized our agreement with AWAS which we believe is positive for the Company, our employees and our shareholders," said Mark Dunkerley, president and chief executive officer. "We can now enter 2007 with near-term fleet certainty and the flexibility to develop a comprehensive fleet plan for the future."

"Completing this transaction with attractive financial terms is an important development for Hawaiian," added Peter Ingram, Hawaiian's executive vice president and chief financial officer. "We appreciate the support of our lenders and are pleased to have the financial flexibility to acquire these aircraft."

Hawaiian's aircraft ownership expenses, factoring in aircraft rental expense, depreciation and interest expense related to the new financing will not change materially following these transactions. As a result of purchasing aircraft which were previously leased, Hawaiian's aircraft rental expense will decline.

Hawaiian's aircraft rental expense for the four remaining leased aircraft will not differ materially from previous levels. Hawaiian anticipates depreciating the acquired aircraft, which were originally entered into service in 2001, over a 20-year remaining life. In conjunction with the aircraft purchase, Hawaiian raised $126 million in floating-rate debt financing from CIT Leasing Corporation.

DFW International Airport December 21, 2006 - Glowing smiles and warm hearts greeted passengers in DFW International Airport's ticketing halls and concourses today, as the Airport's world-recognized Holiday Helpers greeted and directed travelers to their flights. Today's massive snowstorm that closed Denver International Airport and other Colorado airports prompted Holiday Helpers to direct volunteers to terminals with the most stranded passengers. There, Santa and his elves helped with distributing complimentary Dunkin' Donuts, T-Mobile Wi-Fi passes, "Power Up My Portable" VIP cards and Pepsi samples.

"We wanted to make sure that families and children affected by these cancellations received a little holiday cheer today and our Holiday Helpers have once again demonstrated what pride in our Airport and Texas hospitality are all about," said Jeff Fegan, DFW CEO. "Our lines continue to move quickly and our passengers have done great packing their carry-on fluids by the rules. Our volunteers, Airport Ambassadors and terminal managers will continue to monitor the situation throughout the day to make this hectic travel as smooth as possible."

More than 2.9 million passengers will pass through DFW between December 18 and January 3, in a robust year that will close with more than 60 million total passengers. More than 200,000 passengers are expected through DFW's five terminals during this busy 'getaway day'. DFW's concessionaires stayed open throughout the night to assist Colorado-bound passengers and will do so again this evening if needed.

"Santa Tracker educates travelers about what to expect when arriving at the Airport and is fun for the whole family," said Ken Capps, DFW's vice president of public affairs. "In addition to interactive games and video clips, the site provides travel tips including the do's and don'ts of how to pass through security."

Dallas December 21, 2006 - Travelers flying into or out of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York will be able to power up their mobile phones, laptops and other electronic devices at Samsung Mobile Charging Stations.
