AVTECH and Panasonic Avionics Corporation sign agreement in support of joint global marketing and deployment of the Aventus NowCast product family


The Board of AVTECH Sweden AB (publ) (“AVTECH” or the “Company”) today announces
a Strategic Partnership and Revenue Share Agreement (“RSA”) with Panasonic
Avionics Corporation (“Panasonic”) to develop additional weather solution
capabilities that help enhance the value of AVTECH’s Aventus family. In
addition, Panasonic, which has developed a substantial customer base within the
aviation industry, will participate in AVTECH’s strategic planning, Aventus
business development pursuits, and sales.
The Aventus NowCast™ system leverages Panasonic’s unmatched wind forecasting
capabilities to optimize aircraft flights. It transmits information customized
for each individual aircraft to the onboard flight management system to improve
take offs and landings. Using this innovative solution, airlines will be able to
significantly decrease fuel burn and also reduce an aircraft’s environmental
impact in terms of noise and CO2 emissions. The system also allows airlines to
meet the required time of arrival (RTA) within seconds.

“This agreement strengthens our relationship with Panasonic Avionics Corporation
and adds another critical piece to the puzzle on how we can rapidly expand
global Sales. Especially exciting is the perfect match that I see in customer
bases, technical approach on where global aviation is moving, and a great
personal chemistry with the Team at Panasonic. It is with great anticipation
that I look forward to future joint activities”, says Christer Staaf, the CEO of
AVTECH.

Lars GV Lindberg, AVTECH’s Chairman of the Board also commented, “We are very
pleased to establish this strategic agreement with Panasonic Avionics
Corporation. We believe that the joint initiatives outlined Strategic
Partnership Agreement will help our companies leverage our mutual strengths and
develop solutions for a wide range of future potential business opportunities.”

Paul Margis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Panasonic Avionics
Corporation, said, “We are excited about expanding our relationship with AVTECH,
and we look forward to jointly delivering solutions that help airlines reduce
fuel burn, improve accuracy of arrival time estimates, and be more
environmentally friendly during takeoff and landings.”
