Coalition for Luggage Security Responds to Spirit Airlines' Luggage Fee.

NEW YORK -- The Coalition for Luggage Security today commented on Spirit Airlines' plans to charge passengers, carrying more than one piece of luggage, a fee of up to $100 starting 10/02/07 (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl- zspirit06feb06,0,3066775.story). (Due to its length, this URL may need to be copied/pasted into your Internet browser's address field. Remove the extra space if one exists.) The coalition feels this is a step in the right direction and has been saying for a very long time that the price of tickets should reflect whether a passenger has luggage.

The Coalition proposes that other airlines examine differentiating between the cost of transporting passengers and luggage but also go one step further and separate passenger luggage from passenger flights to increase security. The Coalition for Luggage Security's proposal is explained in detail in the white paper "More Safety, Less Hassle for American Travelers: A Private Sector Solution," by Richard A. Altomare, President and Founder of the Coalition, and Chairman of Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB:USXP).

There is currently an effective and efficient private luggage carrier system in place. The Coalition recommends airlines present this as an option to all passengers by subtracting the cost of luggage handling out of the price of tickets and giving passengers the choice of having their bags transported by the airline or a private carrier. More people using this service could solve a huge security gap that currently exists in the aviation system as it would decrease the prospect of infiltration of terrorist devices onto airplanes. "The proposal set forth by the Coalition could also improve airline profitability, save on fuel costs, and further control the price of tickets," said Faye Sora, Coalition Director.

Currently, the aviation industry transports more than double the number of bags than passengers each year, incurring enormous labor and equipment costs. The current system of ticket pricing does not distinguish between those passengers who have shipped bags and those who do not. This is a very crucial factor as there are many costs associated with passengers who carry luggage. These costs range from the need for extra baggage handlers to TSA security screeners to the actual cost of the luggage being on the airplane. This cost is reflected in the price of passenger tickets even if the passenger does not have any luggage.
