AAII Alabama Aircraft Industr (MM)

Alabama Aircraft Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAII) announced today that its subsidiary, AAII - Birmingham has won its case filed on June 26, 2008 in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims against the United States Air Force and The Boeing Company which challenged the Air Force�s selection of Boeing for a $1.1 billion contract to perform PDM services on KC-135 aircraft. The Court set aside the Solicitation and enjoined the Air Force from proceeding with the award to Boeing requiring that �The Air Force must resolicit the procurement and take the necessary steps in a new solicitation to address explicitly the role of an ever-aging KC-135 fleet on the PDM to be performed.� Ron Aramini, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alabama Aircraft Industries, Inc. said, �We could not be more pleased that the Court has given this matter a thorough and fair hearing, as we have requested from the beginning. The deficiencies in the award obviously have been recognized and finally addressed, with the potential to restore integrity to the procurement process for the KC-135 PDM. We look forward to working with the United States Air Force and participating in the new KC-135 competition.� Alabama Aircraft Industries, Inc.
