NEW YORK (July 27, 2010) - SH&E, a subsidiary of ICF international and one of the world’s leaders in aviation expertise,
recently formed an advisory board for the commercial aviation industry to provide insight on current and future trends
at airlines and airports. The SH&E Aviation Advisory Board, a high-level forum comprised of well-recognized and highly
respected thought leaders in the aviation community, is focused on understanding passengers’ problems and developing
new solutions that will provide the industry with sustained profitability. 

“SH&E believes that the industry is at a turning point and that new thinking must emerge to help it conquer the challenges
that lie ahead,” said Deborah Meehan, chief operating officer of SH&E, head of ICF International’s aviation division, and
leader of the advisory board. “The board will ensure SH&E continues its position as a leading authority on aviation issues
and further develop its role in helping shape the industry going forward.”

The advisory board is comprised of well-recognized and respected leaders as well as some of the foremost innovative
thinkers in aviation. The board is organized and moderated by Ms. Meehan, who has more than 30 years of aviation
consulting experience. 

Joining Ms. Meehan on the advisory board:

  • Nawal Taneja, professor and chair of The Ohio State University Department of Aviation and a career analyst
    of the global airline industry. He is also author of a series of books on the airline industry that have become
    required reading at airlines throughout the world.

    of Air Canada. Mr. Menke is on the cutting edge of the IT and labor solutions necessary for airlines to be

    of the Star Alliance carriers. He understands the practical operational necessities of airline success.
