Emirates Airlines to Implement Ultramain Software..
Dubai, United Arab Emirates

-- Emirates, one of the world's fastest-growing airlines, will implement Ultramain maintenance and logistics software to maintain its fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Ultramain is a suite of integrated modules that addresses the full spectrum of airline maintenance needs, providing a complete maintenance and engineering software system in one comprehensive package. The implementation begins in May 2006 at Emirates' extensive new engineering center at Dubai Airport, where a team of Emirates and Ultramain Systems, Inc. ("USI") systems professionals will manage the multifaceted process of migrating from legacy systems to the Ultramain environment.

Emirates is actively evaluating USI's FastPath(TM) implementation methodology, which allows new Ultramain customers to more quickly realize the benefits of Ultramain's
extensive maintenance and logistics management capabilities.

"We anticipate opting for FastPath because we want to realise the business benefits of Ultramain as quickly as possible," said Andrew Hoad, Emirates' Senior Vice President
of Engineering Support Services. "The Ultramain software will play a significant role in supporting our Engineering operations as we continue to add new aircraft to our fleet to accommodate our expanding services, so it's important that we move into production with Ultramain quickly."

"As one of today's most successful airlines, Emirates exemplifies how successful rapid growth can be achieved with careful management and attention to customer service," said Mark McCausland, President of USI. "With its extensive functionality and flexible architecture, Ultramain will provide Emirates with the capability to support their rapid fleet expansion without compromising on maintenance standards."
