Challenges / Opportunites

• Business model can and should be expanded

– Surrounding Detroit, other metro markets in MI where service doesn’t exist

– Our business is “turn-key” – we can start new service relatively quickly

– Public/Private Partnerships can be the answer – AirRide proven successful

• Detroit Metro Airport

– Recent move from Intl Arrivals to GTC – negative impact to disabled passengers

and seniors

• Infrastructure needed to make it a successful business model

– Long term parking / Commuter lots – parking must be low cost

– Participation from federal, state and local authorities
