9th AUGUST 2022: AeroCloud Systems (AeroCloud), the 100% cloud native software
platform dedicated to the growth of airports, has announced its merger with passenger
processing (common-use) specialist Flight Solutions. The move, which will see the Company
augment its capabilities to include airport passenger processing services, will offer its
customers a comprehensive one-stop solution for all their airport data and passenger
journey needs.

“The market is ready for change. After the pandemic airports need to cut their ties with
legacy vendors as the software and hardware model has become outdated, un-affordable
and obsolete,” comments George Richardson, Co-Founder and CEO of AeroCloud. “To date
no one provider has had the capacity, funds or tenacity to compete on all fronts with our
legacy competition, the coming together of these game changing products is going to
change the way airports do things for the better.”
Richardson observes that the market and revenue opportunities and efficiency needs for
regional airports has doubled since 2019 and the infrastructure at larger airports has not
been able to respond to match the augmented demands of change. “The merger will enable
us to provide a complete solution, so instead of offering half of a pie, we are offering it as a
whole. We believe that airports deserve better, and by merging with Flight Solutions we are
creating an innovative and progressive platform to achieve that.”

Paul Secker, CEO of Flight Solutions who joins the AeroCloud Board as co-founder and
Global Director of Common-Use said: “We are excited about the future of airports as a
whole. AeroCloud has grown exponentially in the time since I met with George and Ian over
a year ago, and we are on the exact same page when it comes to offering our existing and
future customers a much better alternative. This merger will create a ground-breaking
platform for airport operatives and we are thrilled to be part of this revolution.”

Established in 2019, AeroCloud prides itself on being responsive and reactive, offering
operational leaders solutions to centralise all airport data, automating tasks, predicting
passengers, maximising gate capacity, check in and baggage and ensuring every stakeholder
across the airport gets the information they need in real-time. Progression and innovation
are at the heart of the Company’s ethos, and it is focused on positively changing the way
that airports work forever more.

The investment in this merger will offer a combined portfolio of the most innovative and
forward-thinking airport customers and will welcome many more in the near future. For
