Company`s FY2009 Orders Now Exceed US$45M
ORLANDO, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Adacel (ASX:ADA) today announced that the company has been awarded several
additional contracts over the past two months for Air Traffic Control (ATC)
simulation training systems and support services valued at more than US$5.75
Million. The Company`s new order bookings for its current fiscal year ending
June 2009 now exceed US$45 Million. 

With these latest orders Adacel expands its market share in Europe and with
United States based College and ATC training institutions. Air Traffic Services
of the Slovak Republic has contracted Adacel to supply ATC tower and radar
simulation systems to support their training academy. Slovakia now joins
training establishments in the Czech Republic, Italy, Austria, and Hungary as
European clients exercising simulation contracts with Adacel over the past year.


In the United States the number of Colleges and ATC Training Institutions
initiating contracts with Adacel in their current fiscal year grew to eleven.
Broward College of Florida placed their second order in less than a year and
other new contracts included Advanced ATC in Valdosta, Georgia; Arizona State
University in Tempe, Arizona and Saint Louis University in St Louis, Missouri.
Adacel has previously supplied systems and support this year to L3
Communications for their new Link ATC Academy in Denison, Texas as well as FAA
certified schools at the Community College of Baltimore County in Maryland,
Daniel Webster College in New Hampshire, Florida State College at Jacksonville,
Middle Georgia College, Tulsa Community College in Oklahoma, and the University
of North Dakota. Adacel`s strong relationship with the United States Air Force
also continued with renewed service and support contract options exercised in
April. 

Adacel`s ATC simulation systems permit the development of higher proficiency
levels at an earlier stage in controller training. They reduce considerably the
work involved in the preparation and conduct of training and can significantly
decrease the qualification period and associated costs for new controllers.
