Greenwich, CT, August 22, 2005 - Megadata Corporation (OTC: MDTA) announced today that SheltAir Aviation Services, one of the country’s largest fixed based operators (FBO’s), has contracted for PASSUR web-based flight information tools, including PASSUR Portal™, PASSUR Pulse™ and PASSUR inSight™, at many of its national locations.
“The PASSUR tools give us a competitive edge in both service and marketing,” said Mr. Ed Zwirn of SheltAir. “They allow us to provide a premium service to our customer base, through more accurate and visually compelling live information, and direct web access to airport operations. The marketing tools enable us to reach our key customer target list through a simple, all-in-one marketing program on the web. In the past, getting the information we needed about the target customers we wanted to reach was time consuming, labor intensive, expensive, and often inaccurate; with PASSUR tools, it’s fast, simple, affordable, and there’s no database that’s more accurate – we’re very pleased.”
“SheltAir is a premier, national FBO and they need the most accurate, timely information to efficiently service their customers,” said Jim Barry, Megadata President and CEO. “We’re all about building a premier information database – fed primarily through our passive radar network, and combining this information with easy to use, targeted web portals and software to help the aviation community get the right information, fast. SheltAir is a pioneer and we’re privileged to be their partner.”
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.
