and it is now time for Exostar to expand its presence in the 'other half' of
the world's aerospace markets. With huge order books at virtually all major

platform for its expansion into the EU. The selection of Berlin underscores
the fact that the city rests at the crossroads of Europe and with India
invited to be the 'partner country,' the Berlin event opens the door to the
mushrooming Asian aerospace markets. Exostar will find a large welcome mat at
the Berlin International Air Show and especially at the International
Suppliers Center."
