AviationZone.net Completes Full Activation; First Dedicated Neutral Internet Aviation Community.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 1999--

AviationZone, LLC, a joint venture between GO Media and Jouve Data Management, announced the full activation of its Internet site, AviationZone.net, today (www.AviationZone.net). The private, secure subscription-based web site is a consolidation of content, communication and commerce and the first such neutral site dedicated to the airline and corporate aviation industry.

The company is managed and overseen by Ludo Van Vooren, who possesses an extensive technical background in computing combined with proven experience in the field of electronic information delivery in the aerospace industry.

AviationZone.net features four distinct sections providing news and technical information to members of the aviation industry.

-- News: The news section, updated several times daily, provides

industry-specific news from numerous resources, including

BusinessWire, PR Newswire, and leading aviation magazines. The

section is also available for companies to disseminate press

releases.

-- Portal/Industry Resources: This section provides an Internet

starting point for the aviation industry to Internet sites of

companies providing products and services. The directory is

searchable by aircraft type, system type and provider, along with

a comprehensive list of industry-related activities and events.

The section is continuously updated, and provides direct links to

contact pages and product description pages, as well as links to

home pages.

-- Technical Library: The most in-depth section of the community,

the Tehcnical Library provides access to technical documentation

including maintenance manuals and service bulletins authorized by

the owner of the data. An advanced search program provides rapid

access to the documents and stores either the documents or the

index of another site.

-- E-Commerce: The password-protected e-commerce section provides

access to third-party airline parts databases, requests for

proposals and lists of products and services for sale.

AviationZone is intended for companies who do business as part of the airline industry. This site has two main types of users: Information Readers who use the site to collect business information to help them in their professional duties, and Information Providers who use the site to disseminate information about their products and services to their customers.

The Information Reader membership is typically intended for airlines, repair stations, third-party maintenance organizations and civil aviation authorities. With this membership, a company can access the technical library and e-commerce sections. It also has access to restricted information to which it has been granted by an Information Provider in any of the four sections. For example, an airline might have access to the service bulletins for an airplane it operates from the Technical Library. Or, a company might have access to non-public industry news from the News section. With this membership, a company can access the bulk of its up-to-date information electronically, with outstanding reliability, low cost and no capital investment. This also reduces the need for handling paper and CD-ROM distribution and/or revision. Furthermore, it allows a company to access industry information from a single site with a single password.

The Information Provider membership is typically intended for airframe, engine or component manufacturers, industry associations, parts and services suppliers and news organizations. With this membership, a company can post HTML or PDF documents in any of the four sections of the site. Each posted document can be indexed and managed directly by the Information Provider. A company can set up access restrictions on any of the documents it posts. These restrictions determine if an Information Reader has access to the document. The restrictions are defined by company type (e.g. All Airlines) or by specific Information Reader (e.g. FAA). The company documents can be physically loaded to the highly reliable Hewlett-Packard servers of AviationZone, or they can be indexed and linked from the site to the company's own site. With this membership, a company has a cost-effective way to distribute information electronically while keeping total control of its proprietary information. The company saves the burden from the significant capital investment required to establish this kind of mechanism on its own web site.
