How About 'Carry-On Cuisine?'

'Food on the Fly' -- Now THAT's a Headline!

Business and vacation travelers in the DC region now have a unique alternative to airline food. Cardinal Technologies, Inc. and Sabre Holdings Corporation have launched Carry-On Cuisine, a new service that enables travelers to order meals online from restaurants they know and trust and have the food ready for pick-up prior to boarding their flight.

Cardinal Technologies, Inc., partnered with Sabre to host part of the site and airport-based dining establishments to offer the meals. Initially, the service will be offered at Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport (DCA). During the first quarter of 2003, the service will expand to airports in Providence (PVD), R.I., Newark (EWR), N.J. and to New York City's John F. Kennedy (JFK) airport. Expansion to all major US airports is expected by mid-2003.

"Teaming up many excellent airport-based restaurants and Sabre will enable Carry-On Cuisine to deliver on its promise of convenience and great food," said Earl M. Furfine, CEO of Cardinal Technologies. "Everyone has a favorite type of food -- from salads and soups, to sandwiches and burgers. Now they can get it fresh and fast, before or after their flight, regardless of how tight their schedules are."

"Industry analysts from R. W. Mann & Co have recently shared their opinions publicly that travelers are looking for alternative sources to purchase carry-on food that is both fresh and reasonably priced," said Greg Webb, senior vice president of Product Development for Sabre. "This relationship fosters another opportunity for Sabre to provide its travel agency customers with a valuable service that travelers desire."
