The Advantage- 2010 PRESS RELEASE -lektro delivers 3,700th electric towbarless aircraft tugWarrenton, Oregon.Eric Paulson, President of LEKTRO, Inc., the world's #1 producer of a towbarless aircraft tow tractors, announced that it recently delivered it's 3,700th towbarless tractor to Delta's Regional Elite Airline Services at the Detroit-Wayne (DTW) Michigan Airport. The Regional Elite model is LEKTRO's popular 120,000 all-electric AP8850SDA-AL-100, certified to handle the complete range of regional aircraft from the Dash 8 thru ERJ135/145, CRJ 200-900 and EMB 170-195.LEKTRO pioneered the towbarless tow tractor market when it first developed the towbarless tug back in 1967. LEKTRO combined its towbarless design with state-of-the-art battery power resulting in the safest, most efficient and most environmentally friendly tow tractor the aviation industry has ever experienced. "These features are some of the main reasons Regional Elite Aircraft Services chose LEKTRO," stated Dick Schukraft, Director of Hub Operations. "The LEKTRO tug not only helps keep our operation efficient, it helps us do our part for the environment."Bill Kilduff, Department Manager of Ramp Operations and Kevin Gleason, Department Manager of GSE at DTW, both confirm that their LEKTRO tugs are easy to use, easy to operate, easy to maintain, and are very gentle on the aircraft. "The passenger experience while being pushed-back by a LEKTRO is unbelievably smooth, much better than a conventional tractor and towbar," stated Kilduff. "The rugged design and excellent access to the components makes maintaining a LEKTRO tug simple as well," added Gleason.23

The AdvantageRequires Minimal MaintenanceBatteries have been known to last 14-18 years in high-use airline applications before needing replacementEliminates possibility of towbar/shear-pin breakageNo tune-ups requiredNo starters, spark plugs, carburetors, etc.No oil-changes requiredEasily accessibleSolid StateSimpleCentral battery water fill system24

The AdvantageEasy Operation / Requires Less TrainingOperationMuch easier to learn to operate a LEKTRO than conventional tractors (Approximately 1/10 of the time is required)MaintenanceFewer components and systems to maintainLess-complicated componentsThree basic components:BatteryElectric motorController

25

The AdvantageEasy OperationFewer personnel requiredSingle operator can safely complete capture processEliminates need for brake-rider in aircraftFaster hook-up timeNo towbar/tow head requiredSingle pivot point = increased/easy maneuverabilityCapture video

30

The AdvantageHighly Maneuverable (Aircraft Safety Increased)Ability to position aircraft in confined areasIncreased hangar capacityMore aircraft can be stored insideReduces aircraft maintenanceReduces aircraft exposure to elementsReduces Hangar RashSimplifies the connection between the aircraft and tow vehicle by reducing from the standard 2 pivot-point connection to a single pivot-point, completely eliminating the possibility of jack-knifing.Utilizes NLG weight to increase traction

31

The AdvantageSafety (Personnel Injuries Decreased)Eliminates back injuries from handling heavy towbarsEliminates pinched/broken finger injuries associated with connecting towbar to tug/aircraftNo fumesPersonnel not subjected to CO2 exhaust emissionsCan be operated inside hangar with doors closedNo NoisePersonnel can easily communicate with each other to avoid possible accidents32

The AdvantageFacility SavingsProcurement Does not require the purchase of corresponding towbars and tow headsSustainmentElectric LEKTRO can operate in a closed hangar reducing heating/cooling cost associated with open doorsHangars can be smaller as towbarless LEKTROs are much more maneuverable than tug/towbar combinationNo need to purchase/stock engine oil or tug fuel33
