B/E Aerospace's Cockpit Security Product to be Featured on CNBC Television.

Business, Travel & Entertainment Editors

WELLINGTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2001

B/E Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq:BEAV) Chairman and founder Amin J. Khoury has been invited to discuss the company's aircraft cockpit security product in an interview tomorrow morning on CNBC TV's "Today's Business" program. The interview is scheduled for 6:40 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow, Friday, October 12, 2001.

Unlike temporary, short-term measures which must be replaced within 18 months under a recent Federal Aviation Administration order, B/E's integrated cockpit security system is a permanent solution which the company believes complies with all existing applicable FAA regulations. The product could be ready for installation on commercial passenger aircraft as early as January 2002, thereby allowing sufficient time for airlines to meet the March 2003 compliance date.

The company has applied for patents on a number of the product's unique features. As previously announced, the centerpiece of B/E's integrated system is an anti-ballistic cockpit door with a patent-pending entry and locking system. Kevlar(TM) and steel provide the anti-ballistic barrier for the door and surrounding structures. A camera system enables the flight crew to monitor the passenger cabin.
