After September 11, Satair has focused on efforts permitting it to steer safely through a difficult period with a dramatically changed market environment while, at the same time, initiating a revision of its strategy to accommodate these changes and introduce the necessary readiness for change throughout the Group. The reviewed strategy, named ‘New Horizons’, will enable Satair to continue expanding its existing competencies and develop new ones - primarily within logistics services which will act as a supplement to the Group’s traditional role as distributor. In its future role, Satair will increase its offerings of ‘all-in package solutions’ to customers wishing to outsource. ‘New Horizons’ is in many respects a ‘project of change’ the purpose of which is to maintain and enhance Satair's attractive position in the aviation value chain in a transitional phase. Satair will roll out its reviewed 3-year strategy, ‘New Horizons’, with the objective of consolidating and defending its position in the aviation value chain strengthening its position within attractive growth areas, and preparing and streamlining its business system in time for the next growth phase In relation to the above strategy it is important to emphasize that, because of its position in the value chain, Satair is to a high degree dependent upon its ability to adapt to the market’s requirements and adjust its product offerings and business model on an ongoing basis. Viewing the present situation with ■ the financial turmoil for many airlines ■ the negative development in passenger volume (also from Iraq) ■ build rates going down ■ and not least the consequences of SARS it clearly calls for a very tight and proactive management, as well as an effective communication with our customers and suppliers. Satair has demonstrated this ability to adapt through the past 46 years in this industry. Paris Air Show Even with everything around us changing, some things still remains the same, and one of them is the number one information event in the aeronautics and space industry – the Paris Air Show. Again this year, Satair and Satair Hardware Group will be exhibiting at Le Bourget and we look very much forward to seeing you there, whether it is for business discussions or for social reasons.

Paris Air Show June 15-22, 2003 Satair and Satair Hardware look forward to welcoming you to our stand in Hall 5A, Stand 9A. The Paris Air Show 2001 broke all previous records, both concerning the number of exhibitors (1,856), nations represented (42), exposed aircraft (226), space used for exhibition (307,371 m 2 ) as well as the number of visitors (306,658), and was a powerful demonstration of the show being one of the biggest and most important international aerospace exhibitions in the world. A lot has changed since the show of 2001. Many companies have been forced to look more critically on the way they run their business, which has created new ways to operate within the industry. It is a time where some companies survive and others manage to reinvent themself, and as the Paris Air Show celebrates its 50th anniversary at Le Bourget this year, the industry is determined to show what is has to offer, more than ever. The Paris Air Show 2003 is a perfect example of this determination. Even with the last couple of years in mind, the show will be close to that of 2001 in terms of exhibition area, number of exhibitors and nations represented. By Karen Bull, Marketing Manager, Pall Aerospace In the last issue of Satelite (December 2002) there was a detailed explanation of a typical aircraft avionics cooling system. That article outlined why it is essential that the avionics (E/E) cooling air is dry and free from contamination. Since then, two more operators have selected the Pall avionics cooling system for their Airbus A320 family of aircraft. In October 2002, easyJet announced its intention to purchase 120 Airbus A319 aircraft. In December 2002, easyJet advised that Pall Aerospace had been selected to provide all the filtration equipment for the ATA 21 systems (avionics cooling and cabin air re-circulation). The Pall equipment will be installed during the aircraft production at the Airbus facilities in Toulouse and Hamburg. In January 2003, after a long period of negotiations, Pall/Satair were awarded the contract by Air France to retrofit their entire A319/320/321 fleet. Only one month later, in February 2003, Fabienne Raynaud (Satair sales Satair and Satair Hardware look forward to meeting with current as well as future business partners at the Paris Air Show and joining us at our stand will be some of our long time business partners. You will get the opportunity to meet with them as well as to see the broad portfolio of suppliers that we represent for the aftermarket and the OEM market. If you want to set up a meeting with us in Paris please contact your usual Satair or Satair Hardware representative or send an email to info@satair.com. See you in Paris. More operators sign up for the Pall avionics cooling system CONFERENCE Direct Line Feed & Integrated Purchasing Program manager in France) was invited to witness the first installation of the Pall system. Below are some of the benefits offered to Air France and easyJet by selecting the Pall avionics cooling system: ■ 1 disposable filter element vs. 2 replaceable parts => Lower maintenance and lower logistics costs ■ Improved protection of the avionics equipment ■ Technical support from Pall/Satair Pall Aerospace/Satair also supply avionics cooling filters for other commercial aircraft, including Airbus A300/310, A330/340, Boeing B737, B747, B757, B777, SAAB, Dornier, Jetstream. Including these operators, Pall Aerospace now supplies the majority of the new Airbus production line. In addition - Pall, Satair and PAS (Pall’s USA distributor) now support the majority of the Airbus A319/320/321 fleet for this application. June 17, 2003 10.00 - 11.00 conference area Hall 5A Visit our new website at www.satair.com By Camilla Gregor Schuricht, Marketing Coordinator, Satair A/S In the last issue of Satelite we told you that we were working on preparing a new and updated version of Satair’s website. Satair went on-line with www.satair.com for the first time in 1997, but the requirement to the website has changed since then. With Satair’s introduction of a new visual identity, we have found it necessary to create a new layout for our website as well. But most important, we felt an increased need to focus and communicate more directly with the different segments Satair interact with. Whether you are an investor, a customer, a supplier or maybe one of our new employees we want it to be easier for you to find the information, which is important to you. The first thing you will notice is the color scheme. You will recognize it from the one in Satelite as well as on all other Satair communication material. The second thing is a completely new structure of all our information. Entering the customer zone you will find information regarding the various customer segments with whom we do business and the different services offered to them. This is where we keep our customers updated with news directed especially to them, such as new product lines, product updates and IT enhancements. Entering the manufacturer zone you will find information concerning the services we offer our suppliers, general news about the aviation market and links to other sites that can help give a better view of the development in the industry as a whole. For our investors we have a special section which keeps you updated with all financial news, share information, key figures, presentations and other relevant investor information. If you want to know more about Satair in general, you can enter the ‘About Satair’ menu where you will obtain a brief introduction to the company. If you just want to see our complete product line or a news overview it is available directly from this menu as well. The new website will go live from mid June and we hope that you like the new website. NO:23:JUNE:03 3
4 step 1 An innovative airline What happens at SAS at night? By Karina Bergstrøm Larsen, Product Manager, Satair A/S It is 10:30 pm, SAS’s third team of maintenance staff this day is coming to work. At SAS most maintenance takes place at the night shift from 10:30 pm to 6:30 am. On most nights about 40 aircraft are on ground for a variety of safety checks and upgrades to the latest technology from a cabin check to a large cockpit change. NO:23:JUNE:03 Tonight, two Full Face Oxygen Crew Masks (FFCM) and stowage boxes from B/E Aerospace are being installed in the cockpit of a SAS MD87 from 1991. This new product replaces an older system with a mask and separate goggles, which the pilot would wear for smoke and hypoxia protection, in the event one pilot left his seat, an emergency decompression, or in case of smoke in the cockpit. The new FFCM is a superior product that provides oxygen to the pilot with controls for normal, 100%, or emergency mode. Normal mode provides a mix of air and oxygen for a non-emergency situation while 100% and emergency provide 100% oxygen in case of a decompression or toxic environment. In addition, the FFCM provides a broad view angle and ensures that the pilot can easily ‘don’ (put on) the mask, within the five seconds required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)/Joint Aviation Administration (JAA) authorities. With the FFCM the mask and goggles are one complete product instead of separate and this ensures the pilot a greater efficiency in case of an emergency. Safety and comfort is essential to SAS and the pilot must always have the best tools to make his job simple and easy and to provide maximum safety, which is why the masks are being installed. This evening Mr. Carsten Jensen, SAS Maintenance Technician (since 1998), and Mr. Jan Jepsen, SAS Senior Technician/QC Inspector (since 1994) are going to do the installation of two B/E Aerospace FFCM’s in the cockpit, one for each pilot position. Step 1 The correct tools are needed and SAS has special tooling kits available for oxygen components to ensure an easy installation. Step 2 The removal of the old stowage box, cleaning of the area, and clearing the connectors that will be attached to new FFCM stowage box. Step 3 The new box and the FFCM are installed. The stowage box has a ‘test/reset button’, which provides a method for pre- flight checks of the mask without removal from the stowage box. Step 4 A series of quality control checks are performed to ensure full functionality of the product. The system is checked for leakage between the oxygen flow supply and the stowage box. Then an operational check of the microphone in the FFCM to make sure that the pilot’s voice can be heard on the in-flight intercom, so the pilot can inform crew and passengers of flight status. The installation is complete and the pilot now has the latest technology at hand to ensure a pleasant and safe journey. Once again SAS has upgraded their fleet with the latest technology available. After completion the SAS maintenance staff can continue to next task that night. FUELSTAT resinae approved and recommended by IATA and by Boeing By George Tippet, General Manager, Conidia Bioscience The growing demand for aviation fuel has increased the number of fuel suppliers emphasising the importance of implementing detection procedures in daily maintenance routines. Microbial contamination of aviation fuel can cause severe operational problems such as corrosion of the metallic structure, fuel quantity indication problems and blocking of the scavenge systems and fuel filters during flight. Although both yeasts, fungi and bacteria can cause microbial contamination, by far the most significant and damaging micro organism is Hormoconis resinae (H. resinae) - already known to many in the airline industry as the jet fuel fungus or Cladosporium resinae. Contamination with this fungus can cause serious corrosion and have huge financial and safety implications. When H. resinae is allowed to grow unchecked, it adheres to tank and filter surfaces and cannot be cleared through routine water drainage procedures. Here lies the problem for the aircraft operator. They need to know how much H. resinae is present, whether it is growing and when it is going to be a danger and a costly liability. All aircraft are at risk of problems associated with microbial growth, unless maintenance actions are performed to reduce this risk. Contamination problems are particularly serious in warm, humid conditions as humidity and ambient temperatures promote growth development. Boeing has implemented FUELSTAT resinae into the maintenance manuals addressing procedures on fuel contamination. The IATA organization (The International Air Transport Association) recently published ‘Guidance Material on Microbial Contamination in Aircraft Fuel Tanks’ which approves and recommends the use of FUELSTAT resinae. Generally, it is recommendable that operators monitor any development of microbial contamination by daily removal of water from fuel as well as regular testing of the water/fuel found in each tank with an approved (i.e. FUELSTAT resinae) microbial growth test kit. If fuel contamination is not detected in time and the aircraft is grounded, the financial implication can be severe. A grounded aircraft equals re-routing and compensation of passengers, replacing dumped fuel, bringing in replacement aircraft and crew, loss of revenues, additional maintenance costs, additional airport and/or air traffic control charges etc. With FUELSTAT resinae the aerospace industry has the choice of a reliable and accurate diagnostic kit suitable for Test button The microphone in the FFCM step 2 step 3 step 4 regular monitoring of the contamination level meaning actions can be taken before a costly problem arises. FUELSTAT resinae is environmentally safe, does not require sterile sampling or any incubation time, can be used to test both water and fuel phases - and most importantly, the test is completed in 10 minutes. No other existing kit can collectively demonstrate all these advantages. With FUELSTAT resinae the operator is one step ahead ready to win the battle against H. resinae. FAA approves Welch Allyn 6-Volt HPX reading lamps By Dave Walker, Aftermarket Manager, Welch Allyn Lighting Products Division Welch Allyn Lighting Products Division announced that it has received Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) from the FAA for its 6-volt HPX reading lamps. Part number 998502-18 is suitable for use on Airbus A319, A320, A321 A330 and A340 aircraft utilizing 6-volt PSU systems. With a life rating of 5,100 hours, the 6-volt HPX reading lamp provides significant cost savings when used as a replacement for original equipment reading lamps, which are rated at 2,000 hours. ‘Research shows that most 2000-hour reading lamps last less than 1.5 years for the average airline,’ said Dave Walker, Aftermarket Manager for Welch Allyn Lighting Products Division. ‘Our lifetime testing shows that our 6volt HPX lamp will last closer to four years. This yields an annual saving of over USD4.00 per seat on labor alone. And for most airline conversions we foresee annual savings of an additional USD1.50 to USD2.00 per seat on materials.’ Welch Allyn will partner with stocking distributor Satair.
