        B/E AEROSPACE ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF DRAEGER AEROSPACE GmbH

      WELLINGTON, FL, July 26, 2006 - B/E Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAV), the
world's leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products and a leading
aftermarket distributor of aerospace fasteners, today announced that it has
acquired Draeger Aerospace GmbH (Draeger), from Cobham PLC of Dorset, England
for approximately $80 million. The acquisition which is an all cash purchase
will be funded with cash on hand. The transaction is expected to be modestly
accretive to earnings per share in 2007, the first full year following the
acquisition, and significantly accretive in 2008 and beyond due to strong
manufacturing, research and development, sales and logistics synergies between
our two organizations.

      With over 100 years of experience in the oxygen delivery business, Draeger
is a leading supplier of components and integrated systems to supply oxygen
systems for both civil and military aircraft. In the civil market, Draeger has
well-established strengths in both chemical and gaseous oxygen systems. Draeger,
like B/E, is well-positioned on both Airbus and Boeing aircraft. In the military
market, Draeger is the prime contractor for oxygen systems for the Eurofighter
Typhoon, as well as providing maintenance and repair services for the German air
force's in-service oxygen systems.

      The integration of Draeger with B/E's existing oxygen business will
create substantial operating efficiencies for B/E's OEM partners (Airbus, Boeing
and BAe) and will allow B/E to offer the broadest oxygen system product line in
the industry, including passenger and crew oxygen as well as oxygen storage and
distribution.

      Draeger's expertise in Chemical Oxygen Systems, Super Integrated Passenger
Service Units (SIPSU) and advanced military oxygen systems complements B/E's
expertise in Gaseous Oxygen Systems, state of the art oxygen delivery
technologies (PulseTM Oxygen) and the industry's most




                                                                               2

advanced Crew Oxygen Systems for both the commercial and military markets. In
addition, Draeger's newly developed SIPSU combined with B/E's oxygen systems
will significantly increase B/E's content on the new Airbus A380 and the Boeing
B787.
