Panasonic Avionics Corporation Supplies eX2 IFEC Systems for Lufthansa's New Fleet of A380s

HAMBURG, Germany, May 19, 2010 - Panasonic Avionics Corporation (www.panasonic.aero) (Panasonic),
the world leader in state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment and
communication (IFEC) systems, today announced that Lufthansa will deploy the
Panasonic eX2 (www.panasonic.aero/Products/XSeries.aspx) IFEC system
on its flagship Airbus A380 aircraft.

Panasonic's eX2 IFEC system will provide Lufthansa's passengers - in
every service class - with a full complement of entertainment and
communication options at their fingertips. The eX2 IFEC system will provide
an enhanced passenger experience with access to a wide variety of audio and
video on demand (AVOD) selections including the latest feature films in up to
eight languages, TV series, international radio channels, CDs, games, flight
and connecting gate information, all displayed on in-seat monitors. The user
friendly interface gives passengers a choice of 10 different navigation
languages. Power for personal electronic devices is available in first,
business and economy class.

"As Lufthansa planned its new flagship aircraft, they aspired to offer
best-in-class amenities and provide each passenger with a superior
entertainment experience," said Paul Margis, Chief Executive Officer of
Panasonic Avionics Corporation. "We're proud to be a part of that. By
selecting our eX2 IFEC system for its A380 fleet, Lufthansa ensures all of
its passengers will enjoy the most engaging content in the sky.

"This is a major step forward for both Lufthansa and Panasonic," Margis
added. "This sets a new standard for flight comfort, service and
entertainment."

Lufthansa has ordered 15 of the Airbus A380 aircraft. The aircraft will
have 526 seats in three classes on two levels. With four of the planes
expected to be in service by the end of the year, initial routes will be
between Frankfurt and the destination cities of Tokyo, Beijing and
Johannesburg.

The inaugural commercial flight will leave Frankfurt June 11, en route to
Tokyo.
