GREENWICH, Conn., Oct 16, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Megadata Corporation (MDTA : megadata corp com

MDTA announced today that Landmark Aviation has implemented the PASSUR FBO software suite across its fixed base operation (FBO) network in the United States and Canada.

"Landmark has made a significant investment in the PASSUR technology as part of our strategic plan to enhance the FBO experience for our customers," said Shawn Vick, President, Landmark Aviation. "Standardized information is essential for a large FBO chain and PASSUR will enable us to make sure that this information is used to its maximum advantage."

Jim Barry, President and CEO of Megadata, which owns PASSUR, said, "Landmark is a premium brand with great people. We're pleased to be a part of their ambitious growth plans."
Tom O'Halloran, Megadata's Director of Corporate Aviation, added, "From customer and line service representatives to the general managers and marketing staff, PASSUR tools are now available to those within the Landmark Aviation FBO team, making Landmark one of the first large FBO chains to invest in technology that will improve the customer service experience."

PASSUR FBO employs a proprietary database powered by a network of passive radar systems based throughout the U.S. and abroad. It offers real-time Web- based flight tracking, providing the FBO with a detailed list of inbound and departed aircraft.
The software is focused on enhanced customer service and line operations through pinpoint prediction of arrival times and real-time customer data from multiple integrated data sources, including the radar network and database. It also provides a detailed archive of activity for unique customer tracking.
The software provides an extremely accurate ETA - the underlying data is updated every 4.6 seconds, and processed through unique flight tracking algorithms - allowing FBO customer service representatives to make sure the proper equipment is in place prior to arrival.

PASSUR FBO also offers a real-time link to airport operations, where available, so that the FBO and airport operations personnel can coordinate arrivals and departures.
