October 8, 2020 - FrontM and MAG USA announce their new partnership, extending the
reach of both organisations and delivering to air travellers engaging experiences and
products alongside access to book an extensive inventory of 2,500+ parking locations in 28
countries and a host of other travel needs such as hotels and other airport transport. This
partnership opens up an endless, self-sustaining and incremental ecosystem for airlines and
airports alike. FrontM and MAG USA together now offer an exciting and compelling solution
that any airline - full service carriers such as British Airways, KLM, Delta and low cost
carriers such as Southwest, Easyjet, Vueling, can easily integrate into their cabin avionics
architecture and other booking flows, driving ancillary revenue from multi-touch points
throughout the passenger journey. The opportunity allows airlines and airports to provide
passenger solutions in one multi-use tool, in one streamlined, real time adaptive platform to
consistently drive ancillary revenue and react and adapt to the marketplace effectively.
In the post-Covid era, passengers are using their own devices more than ever as they
navigate their way through ever-changing protocols and potential disruption even as they’re
in the air. With MAG USA, we extend their reach into the aircraft cabin, engaging
passengers like never before, building incremental ancillary revenue streams in tandem with
information flows designed to build traveller confidence and loyalty.
“We are excited to partner with MAG USA to enable passengers to book further travel
services such as parking at the airport, airport lounges, and ground transportation services
more easily and efficiently. MAG USA’s large inventory of such services allow our airline
partners to generate ancillary revenues from their passengers during the booking process
while creating a seamless and immersive experience for their customers.”, Kunal Mittal,
Chief Product Officer & Board Member, FrontM.
“ Traveller confidence is paramount in recovering airport and airline traffic post-Covid. This
partnership allows us to deliver passenger reassurance in a way that also drives ancillary
revenue back to airlines and airports and delivers a more seamless user experience to
travellers booking items like airport parking, ground transportation services, airport lounges
and more. It truly is a winning arrangement for all,” Martin Jones, CEO of MAG USA.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
This white paper discusses the hardware deployed, the test results and the annualized expectations for ROI.
