Calgary, Alberta – April 5, 2012 — AeroMechanical Services Ltd. (TSX-V: AMA) (the “Company” or “AMA”) has signed a contract with a Canadian charter airline for the Automated Flight Information Reporting System (“AFIRSTM“) 228B on two Boeing 737-700 aircraft.

The airline operates Canadian domestic and international charter flights for a variety of organizations and groups.

“We welcome this operator as our ninth Canadian customer,” commented Matt Bradley, VP of Business Development at AMA. “Our customer base is made up of airlines from around the world, and we are always happy to support and provide services to a fellow Canadian.”

The airline will benefit from all of the AFIRS services in their operation. AFIRS will enable Out, Off, On and In times, real-time flight following and 24/7 connectivity between the aircraft and operations through the Iridium satellite communications system. Other optional services include engine trending, and airframe and engine exceedances. The AFIRS 228B is provisioned to integrate with other equipment on the aircraft and will provide a future ready capability for the operator.

AMA will provide equipment and services to the airline over a three-year contract. Installations are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of this year. If AMA completes installation on all contracted aircraft and provides recurring service for the full term of the agreement, gross revenue to AMA will be approximately $136,000 USD, excluding optional services. The installations will commence upon AMA receiving all necessary certifications for the Boeing 737-700 and no issues are anticipated for the completion of the certifications.

When a contract is initially signed, the intended number of aircraft, pricing and potential installation schedules is agreed to by the parties.
