Greenwich, CT, September 29, 2005 - Megadata Corporation (OTC: MDTA) announced today that Galaxy Aviation and Boca Aviation have contracted for PASSUR web-based flight information tools, including PASSUR Portal™, PASSUR Pulse™ and PASSUR inSight™.

“We’re two of Florida’s premier FBO’s, and we search for ways to exceed customer expectations.

Additionally, because all of our bases are Wi-Fi equipped, we’ll be able to access the PASSUR products throughout the entirety of our facilities – a real plus.”

Galaxy has purchased subscriptions for PASSUR products at their Palm Beach, Fla., Stuart, Fla., and Orlando, Fla. locations. Boca Aviation has purchased subscriptions to PASSUR for their Boca Raton, Fla. location.

“Galaxy Aviation and Boca Aviation are real leaders in this market and we’re thrilled to have them on board; we believe any premier FBO should be using our customer service and marketing tools,” said Tom O’Halloran, Megadata’s Director of Corporate Aviation. “Galaxy and Boca understand the power of the PASSUR FBO program, of superior data and web tools to achieve efficiencies in marketing, customer service and operations,” said Jim Barry, Megadata’s president and CEO.

PASSUR Portal is at the heart of the PASSUR Collaborative Decision Making approach, providing an instant, live snapshot of vital operational information on a “web dashboard” of multiple information sets derived from the one-of-a-kind PASSUR database, and tools for instant information sharing and communication among all users. Portal is the main access point for all other PASSUR web services.

PASSUR Pulse gives aviation organizations access to the most complete, accurate and timely activity reports based on the PASSUR database of flight information, including detailed owner/operator information.

PASSUR inSight is the only web-based flight following program that combines national en route flight tracking with precision, terminal-area tracking from the PASSUR network of radar, along with a next-generation graphics engine for real-motion tracking and aircraft movement and the renowned PASSUR ETA.
