WHEN:     Wednesday, April 27 - weather permitting.

          Alcoa operating locations in the following cities produce 
          and handle components for structural and propulsion 
          applications for the A380:

          Carson, California             Kingston, New York        
          Irvine, California             Cleveland, Ohio
          Lafayette, Indiana             Pittsburgh/Alcoa Center,

          Davenport, Iowa      
                     
WHY:      Alcoa's strategic partnership with Airbus has enabled Alcoa
          and its employees help our customer design and build the 
          A380. When the A380 makes its first flight, it will lift off
          with more new Alcoa products and solutions than any other 
          aircraft in Alcoa's 100+ years of aviation history. These 
          advanced products from Alcoa have set new standards in the 
          performance of advanced aerospace aluminum, super alloys 
          and fastening systems.
          
          Airbus spent $6.9 billion with US suppliers last year, 
          supporting more than 140,000 US jobs.
