Newly Established FAR-145 Repair Station Next To DFW Airport

SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. says the FAA has approved and certified its newly established FAR-145 Repair Station located adjacent to the DFW Airport in Grapevine (TX). The FAA issued license number YXWR074Y last month.

This certification allows SkyWay to repair its previously acquired in-flight entertainment assets from Transdigital Communications Corporation (TCC), the SkyWay in-flight entertainment and communications products as well as provide repair services to major airlines in the area. The TCC product line consists of approximately 1,000 units in the flying community today. Units are installed on American Airlines, Northwest Airlines, and Continental Airlines, as well as SAS and general aviation customers. Under recent rule changes by the FAA all manufacturers who desire to repair their products must establish a Certified Repair Station (CRS) in order to be eligible to repair its' products. Additional CRS locations are planned as business opportunities expand. Locations being considered for expansion in 2005 include Clearwater (FL) and Los Angeles (CA).

Based upon the current Continental Airlines purchase order with an estimated value of $400,000 and repair work available from other airlines in the area, projected sales from this Certified Repair Station (CRS) operation are in excess of $750K in revenue. Additional aviation commodities are being evaluated for repair and will be added to the repair stations capabilities.

"We are building our communication infrastructure and repair facilities systematically." said Brent Kovar, President of SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. "The footprint that we are establishing will clearly benefit the airlines and keep our costs to a minimum. This accomplishment is just one more completed milestone prior to fielding our new line of In-Flight Broadband Communications (IBC) equipment."
