Global Aircraft Solutions Announces 5 Year Exclusive Maintenance Contract with
the New Low-Cost Mexican Airline AVOLAR and Opens a Second Aircraft Maintenance
Facility in Tijuana Mexico

TUCSON, Ariz.- August 15, 2005 - Global Aircraft Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:
GACF.OB) today announced that through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hamilton
Aerospace Technologies, Inc. (HAT), it has signed an exclusive 5 year
maintenance contract with an option for 5 additional years with the new low-cost
Mexican airline, AVOLAR. Under the terms of this exclusive agreement, HAT will
provide to AVOLAR all maintenance services from turn-around line maintenance to
scheduled heavy maintenance, including parts support. AVOLAR's business plan
calls for a fleet made up exclusively of Boeing 737-300 and 737-500 aircraft.
AVOLAR plans to have 5 aircraft in service by the end 2005, and thereafter
integrate approximately one aircraft per month, culminating in 30 aircraft being
placed in service by September 2007.

HAT anticipates approximately $1.5 million in revenue from this contract through
the end of 2005. Based on the terms of the agreement with AVOLAR and, subject to
the successful implementation of AVOLAR's business plan, HAT anticipates this
exclusive contract with AVOLAR will generate annual revenues of approximately
$2.75 million per aircraft in service by the time AVOLAR has ramped up to its
projected fleet of 30 aircraft.

In order to efficiently perform the large volume of maintenance services
projected for the AVOLAR contract, HAT has entered into a lease agreement for
approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of office and hangar space in an existing large
aircraft maintenance facility in Tijuana, Mexico. HAT's lease agreement also
contains options for an additional 230,000 sq. ft. of hangars, back shops and
offices at the same facility. The initial hangar space is capable of housing up
to 5 Boeing 737 aircraft. If HAT exercises its options on the additional space,
the Tijuana facility will be capable of housing up to 15 Boeing 737 aircraft.
The termination terms of this new lease mirrors those of HAT's contract with
AVOLAR, thereby minimizing any risk to GACF associated with leasing the Tijuana
facility.

HAT plans to ultimately subcontract the entire AVOLAR contract to a wholly owned
Mexican corporation (Sociedad Anonima) which Global Aircraft Solutions intends
to form, tentatively named Hamilton Aerospace S.A. In addition to the AVOLAR
contract, Global anticipates that Hamilton Aerospace, S.A. will provide
maintenance services to other customers, particularly those located in Latin
America. It should be noted that the Tijuana facility is capable of fully
enclosing 3 Boeing 747 aircraft, so Hamilton Aerospace, S.A. will provide GACF
the option to eventually enter into wide body aircraft maintenance services if
it so chooses.

John Sawyer, President of Global Aircraft Solutions and Hamilton Aerospace,
stated, "We are very excited that AVOLAR has chosen GACF to be the exclusive
maintenance provider for the first Mexican airline based on the successful
low-cost models of airlines like Southwest and Jet Blue. Needless to say, all of
us at Global Aircraft Solutions will do everything in our power to help AVOLAR
achieve its goals, since, if successful, AVOLAR could be generating revenues for
Global at an annualized rate of over $80 million by late 2007."



Jorge Nehme, Chairman and CEO of AVOLAR, commented, "After thoroughly
investigating our maintenance options, we determined that Hamilton Aerospace
most closely met our criteria for quality and cost-effectiveness needed to
support our operating model. We are very comfortable with the management of HAT
and its parent company, Global Aircraft Solutions, and look forward to building
a long-term mutually successful business relationship between our two
organizations."
