TORONTO, ONTARIO, Apr 08, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
GXI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Heathrow Express and GuestLogix Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GXI), the world's
leading provider of on-board retail solutions to the airline
industry, today announced an agreement to offer US passengers the
convenience of non-stop train travel to downtown London upon their
arrival to London Heathrow International, the world's third busiest
airport.

Heathrow Express train tickets will soon be sold using the popular
GuestLogix Mobile Virtual Store(TM) retail platform which is deployed
or is being implemented by leading carriers representing over 90% of
the passenger trips taken annually in North America. The initial
rollout will be with a global carrier on all flights originating from
New York City.

"We're delighted to be working with GuestLogix to introduce Heathrow
Express to the US airline industry," said Diane Burke, Head of Sales
and Marketing for Airport Express Alliance. "GuestLogix provides us
the most convenient and efficient platform to reach most of the US
airline passenger traffic to London."

Market research indicates airline travelers are ready to purchase
tickets to events, entertainment, and airport transfers, if the
on-board buying experience was convenient and made good use of their
time. GuestLogix estimates that airlines can generate at least $20
billion in additional ancillary revenue annually within the next few
years through innovative on-board retail initiatives, as represented
by today's announcement.

"Our signing with Airport Express Alliance keeps us on plan to
leverage our growing airline retail footprint," said Tom Douramakos,
President and CEO of GuestLogix. "Heathrow Express tickets provide
our airline customers an instant opportunity to grow new profitable
revenues while improving the travel experience for their passengers.
They can accomplish this without having to carry any physical
inventory."

The GuestLogix Mobile Virtual Store(TM) platform is acknowledged as
the de facto standard in on-board retailing by the airline industry.
Its state-of-the-art POS handheld and software services allow for
batch and real-time credit and debit card processing as well as cash
handling, inventory and promotions management, supply chain and
fulfillment management. With the addition of merchandising options
through its In-Flight Box Office(TM) merchandising service, the
Company is now able to offer destination-based products and services
spanning theatre tickets to Broadway productions, theme park and
attraction passes, catalog shopping with delivery, and now,
convenient airport transfers.
