Kansas City International Airport Purchases PASSUR Landing Fee Management Program
To Enhance Accuracy, Completeness of Landing Fee Collection
GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Megadata Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: MDTA) announced today that Kansas City International Airport has purchased a subscription to PASSUR(R) Pulse(TM). One of the key areas of planned benefit is increased capture of landing fee revenue.

'Traffic is up over 8% year over year so proper landing fee collection is critical,' said Eric Clevenger, CFO of Kansas City International Airport. 'Since we operate like a private business, complete, equitable and transparent landing fee collection from PASSUR is smart, both to keep our airline customers happy and our revenue stream healthy. We're also hoping to reduce the costs for our large airlines through the implementation of PASSUR's landing fee management program.'

'Complete, fast collection of landing fees is a must for airports, and we're pleased Kansas City Airport is among the leaders in the industry,' said Jim Barry, President and CEO of Megadata, which owns PASSUR.

PASSUR Pulse gives airports access to the most complete, accurate and timely activity reports of arrivals and departures, based on the PASSUR radar record and integrated database of flight information, including detailed owner/operator information, maximum certificated weights by tail number, seat configurations, runway utilization, turn times, and other details in aggregate and by individual flight.
