Ahmed Metwalli
- --------------

      Commencing on June 14, 2007, Ahmed Metwalli will serve as President and
Chief Operating Officer of Aerospace Products International, Inc. ("API"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Aviation Services Inc. (the "Registrant").

      Mr. Metwalli previously served as Vice President, Business Development and
Distribution of Kellstrom Industries from November 2004 until May 2007, and as
Vice President, Sales and Customer Support of Kellstrom Industries from April
2003 to November 2004. From March 1982 until March 2003, Mr. Metwalli served in
various capacities with Lockheed Martin, including as Vice President and General
Manager, International Operations of the Aircraft and Logistics Centers Company,
a division of Lockheed Martin, from June 1999 until March 2003.

      On May 11, 2007, API signed an executive employment agreement (the
"Agreement") with Mr. Metwalli, which has been approved by the Compensation
Committee of the Registrant's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"),
pursuant to which Mr. Metwalli will be employed as President and Chief Operating
Officer of API effective June 14, 2007. Under the Agreement, Mr. Metwalli will
receive an annual base salary of $225,000.

      Under the Agreement, Mr. Metwalli is eligible (but not guaranteed) to
receive a performance bonus determined upon the financial performance of API,
Mr. Metwalli's personal performance or such other factors which may be
determined by the Registrant's CEO or the Compensation Committee. Mr. Metwalli
is also permitted to participate in any medical, dental, disability, life, and
other insurance plans, as are generally available to other employees of API in
similar employment positions, subject to meeting applicable eligibility
requirements, and is eligible for coverage under such Directors and Officers
insurance and commercial general liability insurance and indemnity as is
provided by API or the Registrant to other senior executives of API.

      Under the Agreement, API has also agreed to recommend that Mr. Metwalli
receive an option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock and
a grant of 50,000 restricted shares of the Registrant's common stock, in each
case subject to the approval of, and such terms and conditions established by,
the Compensation Committee.

      Mr. Metwalli's employment is for a period of three years through June 14,
2010 and may be terminated by either party upon 30 days notice. If Mr.
Metwalli's employment is terminated for cause, he is entitled to receive his
base salary prorated through the date of termination, as well as payment for any
vacation earned but not taken. If his employment is terminated without cause or
as a result of his death or disability, he is entitled to receive an amount
equal to six months of base salary, as well as payment for any vacation earned


                                       2






but not taken. This six month's base salary would be paid in bi-weekly
installments until the end of the six month period. Mr. Metwalli is also
entitled to receive the above payments in the event that he terminates the
Agreement because of a continued uncured material breach of the agreement by API
after receipt of reasonable written notice from Mr. Metwalli and an opportunity
to cure.

      The Agreement includes a non-competition restriction on Mr. Metwalli,
during the term of his employment and after the termination of such employment
until the later of 180 days after the termination date and the last date on
which he receives any severance or other benefits under the Agreement. The
Agreement also includes a non-solicitation restriction on Mr. Metwalli during
the term of his employment and for a period of six months after the termination
of such employment.

      In connection with the Agreement, API also entered into a Relocation
Expenses Agreement with Mr. Metwalli on May 11, 2007, under which Mr. Metwalli
will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $65,000 for certain reasonable, documented
expenses in connection with his relocation from Florida to the Memphis area, and
will also be reimbursed up to a maximum of $20,000 for certain temporary living
expenses for himself and his spouse in the Memphis vicinity for the earlier of
180 days from the date of the agreement or until his family's relocation is
completed. Each such reimbursement is to be paid in accordance with API's
regular policies and procedures with respect to such expenses. Mr. Metwalli must
repay the full gross amount of any expenses paid on his behalf or reimbursed to
him by API under certain circumstances within 18 months of the date of the
agreement.
