TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2019 — Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE: SNA) (OTCQB: SNAVF) (“Star†or the “Companyâ€) is pleased to announce that AlMasria Universal Airlines (“AlMasria”) of Egypt has decided to proceed with the installation of two additional STAR-A.D.S. ® Systems on recently acquired aircraft.
In late 2018, AlMasria entered into an agreement with Star to equip their target fleet of 5 aircraft with the STAR-A.D.S. ® System. The first installation has met all expectations successfully and Star is pleased to report that AlMasria is exercising a provision of the original agreement to install the System on the next two aircraft.
The STAR-A.D.S. ® System will help AlMasria achieve important operational cost efficiencies, pursue its growth plans and to immediately meet the recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAOâ€) concerning the Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (“GADSSâ€), in particular dealing with the obligation to provide autonomous location and tracking of aircraft in distress at least once every minute.
The STAR–A.D.S. ® System already exceeds compliance with all of the ICAO GADSS recommendations and evolutions. (See Star Press release of June 11, 2018 for expanded discussion and details).
Viraf Kapadia, CEO of Star Navigation Systems said:
“We are gratified by this decision from AlMasria, as it is testimony to the good cooperation and working relationship that has developed between our two companies. Their two additional B737-400’s will be equipped with our system in the months to come. Star is eager to accompany AlMasria on its road to expansion, providing them with competitive tools and services they need.â€
