ST AEROSPACE TO DEVELOP 15-PALLET CONFIGURATION FOR BOEING 757-200SF FREIGHTER CONVERSION

Singapore, 19 June 2013 ? ST Aerospace announced today that it will launch
the development of a 15-pallet cargo configuration for its Boeing 757-200
freighter conversion programme. This new 15-pallet variant will have
winglets installed on the aircraft.

Including this new configuration, ST Aerospace now offers a full suite of
Boeing 757 freighter conversions:

• 8-pallet cargo-passenger combination configuration with a class E forward
  cargo compartment
• 14.5-pallet cargo configuration with rigid barrier
• 15-pallet cargo configuration with rigid barrier

As part of the development, ST Aerospace will obtain a Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the 15-pallet
configuration. It is expected to receive certification by July 2014. This
STC will be based on ST Aerospace’s existing FAA-approved STC for the
Boeing 757-200 passenger-to-freighter (PTF) conversion which is the only
STC developed based on Boeing’s licensed passenger and freighter data.

To ensure consistently high standards of quality, ST Aerospace will be
working closely with Boeing’s technical support, to develop and maintain a
cost-efficient converted freighter that will enhance asset reliability and
asset value while reducing cost.

ST Aerospace has been involved in the engineering and development phase of
the Boeing 757-200SF flagship programme with Boeing since 1999. Over the
last 14 years, it has redelivered close to 100 Boeing 757 converted
freighters to customers operating in the Americas, Europe and Oceania.
Notably, ST Aerospace’s innovative and adaptive design of the multi-role
combination configuration for the Royal New Zealand Air Force’s Boeing
757-200 aircraft was recognised by the Defence Industry Committee of New
Zealand with the Defence Industry Award of Excellence.
