WELLINGTON, Fla. -- B/E Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq:BEAV), the world's leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and a leading aftermarket distributor of aerospace fasteners, today announced that Airbus has selected B/E as the exclusive manufacturer of its integrated passenger and crew oxygen system for the new Airbus Military A400M aircraft.

The oxygen system includes crew and passenger oxygen storage, distribution and dispensing, as well as portable oxygen for medical and emergency use.

"B/E's leading-edge oxygen technology, coupled with its in-house capability to integrate and certify the complete oxygen system, made it the right choice for the program."

"This program further expands our oxygen technology into military platforms," stated Robert J. Khoury, B/E President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our investment in product development over the past several years continues to yield market success. We are pleased to support Airbus on this important military platform."
