AirMedia Group Inc. (Nasdaq: AMCN), the operator of the largest digital media network in China dedicated to air travel advertising, today announced that it recently obtained the contractual concession rights to operate 140 digital TV screens and 130 46-inch digital frames at the newly constructed Terminal 2 of Wuhan Tianhe Airport from April 2008 to April 2011.

Wuhan is the capital city of Hubei Province. In 2007 Wuhan Tianhe Airport, which handled 8.4 million air passengers, was rated as the 12th largest airport in mainland China in terms of the number of air passengers. With the opening of Terminal 2, which has a floor area of 116,400 square meters, Wuhan Tianhe Airport will increase its passenger handling capacity to 13 million passengers and become the largest airport in central China. Terminal 2 of Wuhan Tianhe Airport is scheduled to open in April 2008. Wuhan Tianhe Airport has also been selected to become one of China's international hub airports. International flights will soon start arriving at and leaving from Wuhan Tianhe Airport without first stopping at Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou.

"I am very excited about the signing with Wuhan Tianhe Airport which used to be operated by our competitor. This new cooperation increases the number of top 30 airports in China where we have contractual concession rights to operate digital TV screens from 28 airports to 29 airports and increases the total number of airports in China where we have concession rights from 52 airports to 53 airports," commented Herman Man Guo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AirMedia. "Continuously expanding our network and capacity, which will increase our revenue potential, is one of our core growth strategies. The new cooperation once again demonstrates our strong capability to obtain and secure resources and also highlights the importance of having a national digital media network."
