PRESS RELEASE

LifeStar Inc., a certified, non-profit medical air transportation service, has been granted an air carrier certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration. Humanitarian flight operations will begin immediately.

LifeStar operates general aviation aircraft to transport medical patients between their home and distant points of care. Flights are conducted in a safe, reliable and prompt manner at no cost to the patient. All operations are directed at eliminating "transportation trauma" and improving patient quality of life. Transportation is provided to ambulatory medical patients and family members free of charge. Additionally, transport of medical personnel, organs, blood and medication can be provided. LifeStar aircraft can operate into, and out of most public use airports. The airlines serve only 12% of public use airports.

LifeStar is based in Buffalo, NY and most flights are conducted within 500 miles of Buffalo. This includes all of the Great Lakes and New England states and much of the mid-Atlantic and mid-West states. Flights are not required to originate or terminate in Buffalo.

LifeStar is supported by grants, donations and corporate sponsorships.
