Media Corp Launches US Flight Search Website ww...

Media Corporation PLC Fast growing internet advertising group Media Corporation plc ('Media Corp' or the 'Group') announces today that it is launching its leading flight comparison website flightcomparison.co.uk into the United States market under the URL www.flightcomparison.com. Media Corp, has recently acquired a leading UK based flight comparison site www.flightcomparison.co.uk to add to its growing stable of leading vertical focused portals, including www.creditcardexpert.co.uk and www.onthebox.com. CEO Justin Drummond said: 'Since we brought flightcomparison.co.uk on board into our publishing division, we have been looking at how to expand the business and maximize its assets by applying our proprietary technology and getting our editorial team to sharpen some of the content and product offering' 'Consumers have made flight comparison a leading flight portal in the UK. We're confident its appeal, functionality, combined with our back-end technology and our considerable experience will make www.flightcomparison.com a success in the US too'. 'The site is quick and easy to navigate and search', Mr Drummond said. 'At the back end we can offer airlines and advertisers a targeted group of potential customers'. Flight Comparison's proprietary technology includes a live flight search tool which allows consumers to find the best deals to most major destinations. The fact that Flight Comparison is a vertically focused flight search engine adds to its credibility among users as it doesn't offer multiple services like most travel sites. It does not sell air flights itself but allows users to search all available cheap airfare sites and enable them to get the best deal. It also offers a host of other services, including last minute deals, charter flights and flight information. All these services will be available on the US site too. Flight Comparison has also just launched a blog blog.flightcomparison.co.uk that keeps travelers in touch with all the latest news on cheap flights around the world. 'The blog is another service helping our visitors to keep up to date with what's going on in the economy flights space and broadens our content base further' Mr Drummond said. ends -0- *T Enquiries: Media Corporation plc Justin Drummond, Chief Executive +44 (0)20 7618 9000 Paul Tuson, Finance Director Canaccord Adams Limited Mark Ashurst, Managing Director +44 (0)20 7050 6500 Holborn PR Trevor Phillips, Director +44 (0)20 7929 5599 *T Notes to editors: Listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, Media Corp, is a leading internet media and advertising Company focused on search, web-site publishing and media sales.
