Press Release Body = Trans States Airlines Standardizes on Aventail's SSL VPN
platform for Secure Remote Access
Aventail provides secure remote access for airline pilots, employees and third party
vendors to access sensitive data-from flight plans and training applications to
on-time departure statistics -anytime, anywhere
Bangalore, December 1, 2006- SSL VPN leader Aventail announced today that Trans
States Airlines (TSA), the sixth-largest independent regional airline in the US, has
standardized on Aventail's award-winning SSL VPN platform ST2 to help provide its
employees and contractors with secure remote access to corporate resources. Now
TSA's management team, pilots, and third-party vendor partners such as United
Airlines and Sabre can use any Internet-enabled device - from corporate laptops to
third-party computers to non-IT managed mobile devices - to gain authenticated,
policy-controlled access to email, flight plans, training applications and more.
With the Aventail solution, TSA has increased user productivity while simultaneously
reducing administrative demands on their limited IT staff.



"When you have five IT technicians supporting over 2000 aviation professionals and
business partners, you can't waste time with remote access solutions that are
difficult to configure or troubleshoot," said Glen Becker, IT Manager, Trans States
Holdings. "You simply need remote access control that works. Aventail allows for the
granularity that we need to enable secure universal access to a wide range of
applications for the multitude of people accessing the network."



Trans States Airlines Implementation

If you travel in the Midwest or Eastern US, you've likely flown Trans States
Airlines (TSA). TSA carries over 3.4 million passengers with over 300 flights to 62
cities as a quality regional feeder airline for American Airlines, United Airlines,
and US Airways. Before Aventail, TSA had several problems in giving their employees
remote access. Employees had to learn several different systems, and IT resources
were strained to support previous VPNs. TSA technicians experienced nightmares in
trying to configure the network in order for pilots to access sensitive information
from a wide range of end point devices from anywhere. Further, third party vendors
had difficulty accessing the network and TSA had difficulty conducting remote vendor
training with their existing system.



Aventail EX-2500 enterprise SSL VPN solution provides TSA\'s 2000 aviation
professionals with a secure remote access solution with seamless connectivity that
works easily and dependably. It also allows for differing levels of access to
resources by employees and partners demonstrating their credentials and
authenticating through Aventail's granular security policy.



"With Aventail, TSA has already experienced more productivity, increased managed
security and easier management," said Becker.



Now TSA managers can securely access and download files from their corporate network
folders from home, and administrative staff can safely view sensitive information
such as on-time departure statistics securely from across the firewall. Pilots have
access to flight plans and documentation from wherever their routes may take them,
over any Web-enabled device. And vendors get dependable access to authorized
resources. Additional hops-and related troubleshooting bottlenecks-have been
eliminated. Vendors can now train remotely, saving money for both them and TSA.
Furthermore, with Aventail Connect Mobile, executives using PDAs are able to access
the same desktop they saw in the office from anywhere on the road.
