     Business/Technology Editors

    STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2000--The Danish
based charter operator Sterling European Airlines have ordered Zonal
Drying System from CTT Systems to be installed in one (1) Boeing
B737-800 (Next Generation) aircraft with option to equip their
remaining B737-800 fleet. Sterling, one of the leading Scandinavian
charter carriers, operates with a fleet of six (6) Boeing B737-800
mainly within Europe and in particular in the mediterranean region.
    The Boeing B737-800 aircraft type represents the latest and next
generation of Boeing's B737 medium range aircraft type and is
presently being produced at a rate of approx. 20 aircraft per month.
    -&uot;We are delighted to develop, in co-operation with Sterling, our
Zonal Drying System for the Next Generation Boeing B737 aircraft. It
is and will remain the most produced aircraft in the world and as such
constitutes a substantial part of our market&uot;, comments CTT Systems AB
president Mr. Torbjorn Johansson the order.
    -&uot;For us at Sterling flight safety and quality awareness is
vital. Hence we see that the Zonal Drying System will have an
important contributing effect. Furthermore we see economical as well
as environmental benefits in removing moisture from our aircraft&uot;,
comments Sterling European Airlines President Mr. Lars Svenheim the
order.
    The CTT Zonal Drying System is designed to combat problems
related to water condensation in the thermal and acoustic insulation
of modern passenger aircraft. Airlines encountering
&uot;rain-in-the-plane&uot; syndrome and other difficulties related to
moisture accumulation in their insulation blankets can use the Zonal
Drying System to mitigate these problems, reduce maintenance costs by
increasing the service life of the insulation and realise significant
fuel savings by eliminating the non-revenue weight of the accumulated
water condensate. By keeping dry the area between the interior trim
panels and the aircraft skin, the Zonal Drying System also reduces
corrosion and the risk of failure of electronic systems and wiring.

    To date, CTT have the following customers for their Zonal Drying
system:

    - Martinair for B767-300 and MD11
    - Jet Aviation for Excecutive aircrafts B767-200, B757-200 and
Boeing Business Jet
    - KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for MD11 and B767
    - Austrian Airlines for MD80
    - LTU for Airbus A330
    - Raytheon Systems Company regarding NASA/DLR SOFIA-project
(Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy)
    - Canadair Regional Jet (undisclosed operator)
    - Swissair for MD11 -SAS regarding Moisture Management System for
