NewspaperDirect Expands into North American Aviation Market

Orlando, Florida — October 17, 2006: NewspaperDirect (www.newspaperdirect.com) announced today that 3 aviation service locations in North America have enabled print-on-demand newspaper availability in the last month. These North American sites, which join the existing site at Jet Aviation in Teterboro, NJ, are Galley Gourmet in Atlanta; Manny’s Aviation in Mexico City; and Bradley Pacific Aviation in Honolulu. NewspaperDirect’s Print-on-Demand Service is also installed at 12 sites in France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, and the U.K.

Exhibiting for the first time at the NBAA 59th Annual Meeting & Convention in Orlando, NewspaperDirect will be printing same-day newspapers from around the world at Booth #1837 on the trade show floor. This easy-to-use, leading-edge solution provides Aviation Service Providers with the opportunity to print from a choice of over 400 newspapers from 85 countries in 30 languages right at their facility - any time of the day or night. Key titles available include The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal Europe, Los Angeles Times, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Le Monde, Corriere della Sera, Chicago Tribune, Yomiuri Shimbun, The Sydney Morning Herald, China Daily, Neue Zurcher Zeitung, and The Globe and Mail.

“We’ve only had the service a month, but our clients are already telling us how happy they are to have this service,” says Manuel Romero-Vargas of Manny Aviation Services in Mexico City. “Also, our local catering clients are finding it very convenient to not have to spend at least two and a half hours driving into Mexico City and back to try to find the requested newspapers.”

“We know that our Print-on-Demand service is perfect for aviation providers,” says Alexander Kroogman, CEO of NewspaperDirect. “Global business executives read our newspapers when they stay at 5-star resorts and on cruise ships. Now, they can read their favourite same-day newspaper from home on their business jet, while they wait in the lounge, or upon arrival at their destination.”
