Freight Feeder Aircraft Corporation (a U.S. private corporation 25% owned by Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:UITA)) announced today that the company has entered into a Letter of Intent with MK Airlines, the British-based all-cargo carrier, for the purchase of 10 (ten) FF5000 Freight Feeder Aircraft, with an option to purchase an additional 5 (Five). Mike Kruger, CEO of MK Airlines stated, "The Freight Feeder Aircraft could play an important role in the future development of an air cargo industry that is already short of competitive and cost-effective airframe capacity. Its use of state-of-art technology makes the FF5000 regional container aircraft an innovative option for us to select and MK Airlines is delighted to sign this agreement as the first European airline to commit to this project and to help launch the aircraft into the global market." John J. Dupont, President and CEO of Freight Feeder Aircraft Corporation stated, �We are very pleased with MK Airlines� decision to enter into an LOI for FF5000 aircraft for its UK cargo airline operations, and for its commitment in helping the FF5000 come to market in the European, and global marketplace. We are looking forward to a long-term mutually beneficial relationship with MK Airlines as one of our valuable launch customers, as we continue to develop the FF5000 and bring it into production.� Officials of both Freight Feeder Aircraft Corporation and MK Airlines plan to meet within the year to complete the final negotiations. The purchase order will become finalized upon �first flight� of the FF5000 Prototype currently under construction. The planned completion of the FF5000 Prototype Aircraft is in the spring of 2009. About MK Airlines: MK Airlines was originally established in 1990 in Ghana and served a number of African routes, is now a UK based airline operating a fleet of Boeing 747 freighter aircraft. It is the largest dedicated cargo airline in the UK and the 21st largest cargo airline in the world as measured by freight carried. MK has developed niche routes into Europe from the emerging markets of Africa, China, India and South America establishing key long term relationships with its customer base. In many cases MK is integral to the supply logistics chain given that the cargoes it carries are perishable or high value. The airline is headquartered in Sussex, near Gatwick, with 49,000 sq ft of office and engine maintenance facilities and ample room for expansion. In August 2006 the airline was granted its Aircraft Operating Certificate and Operating and Route licenses by the CAA. This was a major watershed in the history of MK and is of huge significance in a highly regulated market place. The business has generated significant revenues in recent years with annual growth of approximately 15% driven by the efforts of the Company's strong management team lead by founder and CEO, Mike Kruger. The development of long-term relationships, understanding client needs and planning niche routes and schedules to meet client requirements are the hallmark of MK Airlines.
