Coastal Technologies Group Inc. (CTGi), a leader in accrual and
route optimization for the telecommunications industry, today
announced the general availability of an industry-leading, ASP- based
Aviation Management and and Optimization platform. Zero Gravity
Corporation (ZERO-G(R)) joins a growing list of domestic and
international 91, 121 and 135 operators selecting CTGi as their
information technology partner.
Part 91, 121, and 135 operators are under increasing pressure to
fill seats, dynamically optimize flight assignments, minimize non
revenue flight miles, and manage margins against a backdrop of ever
increasing fuel and regulatory costs," said Richard Kane, CEO for
Coastal Technologies Group and a world record holding commercial
pilot. ZERO-G will be using CTGi's software to help manage sales
channels, seat reservations, operations, work flow management, and
document management.
ZERO-G recently launched a national marketing campaign and
established a relationship with The Sharper Image Corporation to
exclusively market and sell seats on public flights. The reception has
been excellent and ZERO-G is already experiencing exceptional growth.
According to Dr. Peter H. Diamandis, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of
ZERO-G, CTGi's technology platform and services will be critical to
ZERO-G's growth. "I can tell you that we are facing an increase of
business and these application services are critical to our success in
scaling from a single-city operation to a national, multi-city player
in space tourism," said Peter Diamandis.

Founded in 1993, Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G) is a privately
held space entertainment and tourism company. Its mission is to bring
the excitement and adventure of weightlessness to the public through a
safe, fun and cost-effective experience. Headquartered in Las Vegas,
ZERO-G is co-founded by space visionary and entrepreneur Dr. Peter H.
Diamandis, veteran astronaut Dr. Byron K. Lichtenberg, and NASA
engineer Ray Cronise. ZERO-G is the first and only FAA-approved
provider of commercial weightless flights for the general public; The
ZERO-G Experience(TM) launched in October 2004. ZERO-G has since
successfully flown approximately 2,700 passengers on more than 100
flights. In April 2006, ZERO-G became the first commercial company to
gain permission from the Kennedy Space Center to use the shuttle
runway and landing facilities, to operate its weightless flights.
ZERO-G also offers regular flights for the general public from
Signature Air Terminal at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.
In 2006, ZERO-G joined with Northrop Grumman, sponsor of the
Weightless Flights of Discovery, an innovative science and engineering
education program that incorporates zero-gravity flight experiences
for teachers. The program utilizes hands-on science workshops and
ZERO-G's unique weightless flights to help educators share the fun and
excitement of science, technology, engineering and math with their
students. The program realizes ZERO-G's mission to utilize its
capabilities for the public sector as a way to further teacher and
student knowledge and understanding of science, while inspiring the
next generation of space explorers. In its inaugural year, the program
hosted 250 teachers representing 49 states, five U.S. territories and
24 countries. In 2007, ZERO-G and Northrop Grumman strive to fly
approximately 400 teachers and college students.
Continuing its community outreach efforts, on April 26, 2007,
ZERO-G flew Professor Stephen Hawking, the world's leading expert in
gravity, aboard G-Force One to raise funds for several charitable
organizations including Easter Seals, the Starlight Starbright
Children's Foundation, the X PRIZE Foundation and Augie's Quest. The
flight took off from the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space
Center in Central Florida. The ZERO-G Experience, which includes
pre-flight training, a flight of 15 parabolas, flight suit,
