Take Off with IS.Teledata Quotes: Lufthansa passengers access up-to-date market data and IS.eFinance Solutions in FlyNet Onboard Internet Portal

FRANKFURT - In May, flight LH 452 Munich - Los Angeles inaugurated a new era in mobile communications: As the world's first airline, Lufthansa has introduced fast broadband Internet access on traveling altitude as a standard feature in its aircraft. The passengers of the transatlantic Airbus A340-300 were the first to enjoy unlimited Internet access using laptops and other mobile end user devices via WLAN.

The FlyNet Onboard Internet Portal, developed and editorially operated by Tomorrow Focus AG, is available to travelers free of charge. More than 1,000 pages in English and German offer continuously updated news, weather and travel information, but also shopping opportunities and information about Lufthansa and its Miles & More program. Financial market data provided by IS.Teledata are also available, including market overviews, single quotes, charts and dpa-AFX news.

An XML feed supplies the IS.Teledata market data and financial applications in individual components. The systems of Tomorrow Focus integrate the data with other contents to create complete views on the screens of airborne passengers' screens.

Carsten Dirks, Director Sales International of IS.Teledata AG says: "We are delighted that our market data and IS.eFinance Solutions are integrated into the FlyNet Onbard Internet Portal. Our cooperation with Tomorrow Focus AG and Lufthansa AG allows us to be among the pioneers in the development of mobile applications in aviation."

By spring 2006, all 80 long distance aircraft Airbus A340, A330 and Boeing 747-400 of Lufthansa are scheduled to be equipped to provide access to the FlyNet portal.
