TREVOSE P.A., APRIL 21, 2009 — AirClic, a leading mobile applications provider, today announced the expansion of its airline solutions to include cargo, baggage, airport services and aircraft services. The expansion is a result of the company’s recent success in working with airline partners to bring mobile solutions to industry leaders such as Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines, and British Airways. The move is a direct reflection of the airline industry’s growing need to curb costs through greater operational efficiencies by leveraging proven solutions based on best practices and ROI.

“Delivering value-added service to our customers is one of our top priorities, and AirClic shares this value with us,” said Tom Marano, CEO of Air Serv. “We believe in partnering with our clients, providing operational and performance management data to ensure the best service in the industry. AirClic created specific mobile applications to meet these needs, giving us 24/7 visibility into all areas of operation, and we see that expanding in the near future.”

Based on this approach, AirClic has developed wheelchair, cabin cleaning, and interline baggage solutions for Air Serv that are deployed to over 1,400 users across three major airlines.
