                              FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                      KELLSTROM INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNOUNCES
                    AMENDMENTS TO ITS PENDING EXCHANGE OFFER
                       FOR CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES

Miramar, Fla. - June 12, 2001 - Kellstrom Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: KELL) today
announced that it has amended its pending exchange offer for its outstanding
5-3/4% convertible subordinated notes due October 15, 2002 (CUSIP Nos. 488035AC0
and U48787AA0) and 5-1/2% convertible subordinated notes due June 15, 2003
(CUSIP No. 488035AE6). Under the amended offer, Kellstrom is offering to
exchange up to $96 million principal amount of old notes, which may include up
to $54 million of old 5-3/4% notes and/or up to $86.25 million of old 5-1/2%
notes, in any combination totaling no more than $96 million in aggregate.

Noteholders can choose to exchange old notes for any of the following three
options:

         o  new senior subordinated notes (Option I);
         o  new mandatorily redeemable notes (Option II); or,
         o  new convertible subordinated notes (Option III).

Holders do not have to choose the same series of new notes for all of the old
notes that they tender.

         o  Noteholders who choose new senior subordinated notes (Option I) will
            receive $1,000 principal amount of new 8-1/2% senior subordinated
            notes due March 31, 2008 for each $1,000 principal amount of old
            notes. However, Kellstrom will issue no more than $30 million
            principal amount of new senior subordinated notes. The new senior
            subordinated notes will be senior subordinated obligations of
            Kellstrom and will be guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by
            Kellstrom's material subsidiaries.

         o  Noteholders who choose new mandatorily redeemable notes (Option II)
            will receive $1,000 principal amount of new 7% mandatorily
            redeemable subordinated notes due March 31, 2008 for each $1,000
            principal amount of old notes. However, Kellstrom will issue no more
            than $30 million principal amount of mandatorily redeemable notes.
            Kellstrom will be required to make scheduled principal payments on
            the mandatorily redeemable notes, commencing on March 31, 2002 and
            continuing on March 31 of each year through 2008.

         o  Noteholders who choose new convertible subordinated notes (Option
            III) will receive $500 principal amount of new 6% convertible
            subordinated notes due March 31, 2008 for each $1,000 principal
            amount of old notes. However, Kellstrom will issue no more than $18
            million principal amount of new convertible notes. The conversion
            price of the new convertible notes will be $7.56 per share, subject
            to customary adjustment provisions.

If tenders for new senior subordinated notes (Option I) exceed $30 million of
old notes, the excess tenders will automatically be considered tenders for new
mandatorily redeemable notes (Option II). If tenders for new mandatorily
redeemable notes exceed $30 million of old notes, the excess tenders will


   2

automatically be considered tenders for new convertible subordinated notes
(Option III). If tenders for new convertible subordinated notes exceed $36
million of old notes, the excess tenders will not be accepted.

Each series of new notes will be issued on a first priority basis in exchange
for 5-3/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2002. Accordingly, all the new
senior subordinated notes, mandatorily redeemable notes or convertible notes, as
applicable, will be issued in exchange for all old 5-3/4% notes that were
tendered for such new series before any new notes of that series are issued in
exchange for old 5-1/2% notes.

Old 5-3/4% notes tendered for any series of new notes will be accepted on a pro
rata basis from all tendering holders of old 5-3/4% notes. Old 5-1/2% notes
tendered for any series of new notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis from
all tendering holders of old 5-1/2% notes.

If the exchange offer is fully subscribed, a total of $78 million principal
amount of new notes will be issued. All the new notes issued in the offer will
rank senior in right of payment to the old notes that remain outstanding after
consummation of the offer. A minimum of $44.25 million and a maximum of $55.25
million of old notes will remain outstanding.

After consummation of the offer, Kellstrom's outstanding debt will rank in right
of payment as follows: first, senior debt, including Kellstrom's $250 million
secured credit facility; second, the new senior subordinated notes issued in the
offer and Kellstrom's $30 million of 13% senior subordinated notes due 2007,
which were issued in November 2000; third, the new mandatorily redeemable notes
and the new convertible notes issued in the offer; and last, the remaining old
5-3/4% notes and old 5-1/2% notes.

Kellstrom will pay accrued interest in cash on all old notes accepted for
purchase in the offer.

The expiration date for the offer will be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June
26, 2001, unless earlier terminated or extended. Holders must tender their old
notes on or prior to the expiration date in order to receive new notes.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 11, 2001, the Company had received
tenders from holders of $23.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the
5-3/4% convertible subordinated notes, representing 42.7% of the outstanding
5-3/4% notes, and $10.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5-1/2%
convertible subordinated notes, representing 11.9% of the outstanding 5-1/2%
notes.

The offer is subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions, including the
receipt of tenders for at least $85 million principal amount of old notes, the
receipt of requisite consents to the exchange offer from the lenders under
Kellstrom's senior credit facility and receipt of consent from the holder of
Kellstrom's existing senior subordinated notes.

The complete terms of the offer are contained in the amended Preliminary
Prospectus and Exchange Offer documents dated June 12, 2001.
