Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SNA)(OTCBB:SNAVF) ("Star" or the
"Company") announces that it recently accepted an invitation from the Malaysian
Minister of Communications and Multimedia, and the International
Telecommunication Union ("ITU"), to attend the Expert Dialogue on Real-time
Monitoring of Flight Data Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, May 26 and 27. 


The conference was convened following the recent International Civil Aviation
Organization ("ICAO") meetings in Montreal, which the Company also attended.
Organized in response to the complex investigation into the disappearance of
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the ICAO meetings addressed the matter of how
modern technologies could help put in place a more efficient system for
worldwide tracking and monitoring of aircraft. 


Under ICAO guidance, and hosted by the Malaysian Minister of Communications and
Multimedia, over 50 industry experts from all over the world including official
representatives of many countries, regulatory bodies, airlines (IATA) and the
industry in general, including Airbus and Boeing, were invited. In addition,
innovative new companies such as Star Navigation, met in Kuala Lumpur to review
and comment on available technologies and their implementation, so that aircraft
can actually and efficiently be tracked, increasing the safety of all
passengers. 


The Star STAR-A.D.S.(TM) system already provides accurate, continuous tracking
information, relayed through satellite, through minute by minute "heart beats",
giving position, altitude, speed and heading of an aircraft to the airline's
operations center, in addition to real time Black Box flight data streaming.


Mr. Amir Bhatti, P. Eng., Star's Chief of Technology and a former Certified
Aircraft Accident Investigator and Flight Safety Specialist, delivered a
presentation entitled "Real Time Flight Data Monitoring, Tracking and
Communication". He expanded on Star's views and the benefits of real time
streaming of Flight data. The presentation was well received by the selected
audience of experts, and was followed by several specific discussions with
attending airlines and various representatives of attending institutions, as
well as the Minister, Ahmad Shabery Cheek, who said:


"Malaysia is pleased to be able to host this meeting as the outcome may
potentially bring a positive change to the aviation industry." 


Mr. Viraf Kapadia, CEO of Star, said:

"We are understandably pleased with the response to the presentation made at the
conference by our Chief of Technology. Our flagship product, the STAR-A.D.S.(TM)
system, precisely addresses the concerns of those hosting the Conference and it
addresses them today, not in 2020. Aside from the Safety and Search and Rescue
("SAR") considerations, our system offers fuel management and other operational
enhancement benefits that can make the installation of the System a revenue
positive one."


Star looks forward to attending the Aircraft Tracking Task Force, (planned at
the Kuala Lumpur conference), which will meet in Montreal on the 11th and 12th
days of this month, and trust that results will be generated in an expeditious
manner.
