June 17, 2007

    CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Cathay
Pacific Airways Limited has chosen Goodrich Corporation to
provide advanced cargo systems for its new fleet of Boeing
747-400ERF freighter aircraft.  Goodrich's cargo system
includes user-friendly electronics which will allow Cathay
Pacific to run automated system checks designed to reduce
overall downtime when system maintenance work is required. 
In addition, the contract includes next generation Power
Drive Units (PDUs) which will be integrated into the cargo
systems to facilitate movement of shipments on board the
aircraft.

    According to Anthony Lynch, Director of Business
Development for Goodrich's cargo systems team, "Cathay
Pacific Airways' selection of our 747 cargo system adds to
our team's strategic presence with the major airlines in
the Asia-Pacific region. Our team worked with Boeing to
maximize common features of the aircraft's main and lower
decks while also reducing the system's overall weight by
more than 15 percent allowing us to offer added value to
the marketplace.  Furthermore, our relationship with Boeing
as a cargo systems supplier on the 747 dates back nearly 40
years.  This breadth of experience, combined with our
systems capability, enables us to provide cargo systems
which meet the increased operational needs of airlines and
cargo operators worldwide."

in Jamestown, N.D.  Since 1966, the facility has been a
major cargo handling system manufacturer which has produced
more cargo systems for commercial airlines than nearly any
other company in the world.
