Stamford, CT, February 1, 2010 — PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PSSR), a business intelligence and predictive analytics company, announced a revenue increase of 18% to $8,960,000 for the year ended October 31, 2009, compared to $7,572,000 in FY2008. Operating profit for FY2009 was up approximately 16% to $1,271,000 compared to $1,094,000 in FY2008. Net profit was $154,000 or $.03 per diluted share compared to $495,000 or $.09 per diluted share in FY2008. Highlights of fiscal 2009 include:

• American Airlines and US Airways purchased the PASSUR Arrival Management System at their key airports.

• The PASSUR Surveillance and Information Network now covers over 180 worldwide airports, the largest commercial network of its type in the world. This network brings us closer to achieving our goal - and our customers’ goal - of an independent, worldwide, gate to gate network of flight tracking and airspace information.

• We launched the PASSUR predictive analytics program - the first of its kind - which provides an outcomes-based prediction of air traffic performance. The program enables customers to plan more effectively for upcoming air traffic conditions while optimizing their operational procedures and business practices.

• We launched our Airport Network of Field Condition Reporting - next-generation capabilities that provide operators timely, accurate, and complete field condition reporting for more cost-effective, efficient, and safe traffic management decisions. This program is unique to PASSUR and has been purchased by ten leading North American airports.

• We added to our vertical business intelligence capabilities in aviation by launching the PASSUR Professional Services Program, an extensive team of former FAA, airline and airport personnel, as well as commercial, corporate, and military pilots, with significant experience in air traffic management, airline and airport financial analysis, and airline and airport operations. This program provides outsourcing services for complex operational projects requiring a strong collaborative component.

“Even with the challenging economic environment for our customers, PASSUR’s sales growth reflects strong customer demand because of the Company’s focus on providing measurable and actionable solutions which save our customers money, and improve the safety and security of the airspace,” said Jim Barry, PASSUR Aerospace’s President & CEO.

“This is our fourth consecutive year of profitable growth, we continue to grow our sales, and we’re optimistic about achieving our objectives,” said G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, PASSUR Aerospace’s Chairman of the Board.
