Item 8.01.        Other Events

         On September 30, 2004, BE Aerospace, Inc. ("B/E") entered into an
underwriting agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, with
Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Jefferies Quarterdeck, a
division of Jefferies & Company, Inc., and Stephens Inc. (together, the
"Underwriters") related to the public offering of 16,000,000 shares of B/E's
common stock, par value $.01, at a public offering price of $9.00 per share. B/E
also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional
2,400,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 4,
2004, B/E issued a press release announcing that the Underwriters had exercised
in full their right to purchase an additional 2,400,000 shares pursuant to the
over-allotment option granted to them.

         On October 6, 2004, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, B/E issued
and sold 18,400,000 shares of its common stock. The offering yielded aggregate
proceeds to B/E of $157,320,000 after payment of the underwriting discount, but
before payment of expenses related to the offering.
