    MONTREAL, May 7 /CNW Telbec/ - MJET, an Elisen Company, providers of

conversion program of its kind on the market. With a solid track record in
business aircraft reconfiguration and an attractive delivery schedule, MJET
will significantly enhance this aircraft by extending range and maximizing
usable cabin space," Mr. Cross added.

conversion client," said Stéphane Durand, President, MJET. "Leveraging more
than ten years of engineering experience with CRJs and our permanent in-house
