     Pratt & Whitney to launch EcoPower service at Schiphol with Martinair


FARNBOROUGH AIRSHOW, UK: Gas Turbine Efficiency plc ('GTE' or 'the Company'), a
leading supplier of advanced high pressure gas turbine cleaning systems,
announces that Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners ('Pratt & Whitney') is to
offer its innovative EcoPower aircraft engine wash services at Amsterdam's
Schiphol Airport with Martinair as its European launch customer.

Pratt & Whitney is GTE's global partner in the aviation sector and has exclusive
use of the Company's cleaning systems for aero-engine wash services under a long
term royalty sharing agreement.

EcoPower's launch at Schiphol follows the successful completion of a pilot
program with Martinair involving the Amsterdam-based airline's fleet of PW4000
engines. As a result, Pratt & Whitney now expects to provide EcoPower engine
washes to Martinair's entire fleet as well as to other airlines that fly into
Schiphol.

Paul Horstink, vice president Maintenance & Engineering at Martinair said: 'The
EcoPower pilot program met all of our desired results, and we are very happy
with how well it cleans our engines. We now plan to clean all of our engines
regularly with this new method, being the first airline in the Netherlands to
take this environmentally friendly approach.'

The engine washing process is a closed-loop, environmentally friendly system
that uses atomized water to wash aircraft engines. Not only does the system
avoid potentially harmful run-off from the washing process, but it also is more
effective and much faster than traditional engine washing processes. EcoPower
improves engine performance and extends time on wing for operators of Pratt &
Whitney, GE, IAE, CFMI and Rolls Royce engines. EcoPower wash can reduce fuel
burn by as much as 1 percent and increase engine EGT (exhaust gas temperature)
margin by as much as 15 degrees C.

Steven Zwolinski, chief executive of GTE, commented, 'We are delighted that
EcoPower will soon launch its services at Schiphol with Martinair as the launch
customer. This is a further validation of our strong partnership with Pratt &
Whiney and the benefits of our advanced technology to airlines worldwide.'
