This exclusive deal marks the first time that Air China has worked with a
partner to offer global customers accommodation. Through this partnership,
customers across 27 markets, including the UAE, Australia, Brazil, Germany,
Spain, Sweden, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Russia, the UK and USA, can now book
hotels at the same time as booking flights.

To streamline the booking process, the majority EAN's content will be
localized across global markets, with Expedia providing local language
customer service support.

Mr. Jia Tie Sheng, Managing Director Sales Air China, comments, "We are
constantly reviewing the functionality of our website to ensure that we are
offering our users products relevant to their needs. In order to ensure
efficiency and breadth of choice it was a natural progression for us to sign
the partnership with EAN as they were able to work with us to create a
bespoke interface that best meets the needs of our customers and our
business. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with EAN."

Jens Uwe Parkitny, the Managing Director of EAN APAC, said, "We worked
closely with Air China to understand their business and customer needs, and
offered a solution that could bring a significant increase in customers and
revenue. The ease of integration and usability of our interface is one of our
key selling points and the reason we were able to partner with Air China. We
look forward to working with them and seeing this partnership develop."
