MINNETONKA, MN–(Marketwire – August 18, 2010) –  After achieving two years of substantial lodging and administrative savings with LodgeX Airline Solutions (www.LodgeX.com), SkyWest Airlines and Atlantic Southeast Airlines signed a new agreement that continues the relationship through 2013.

For the past two years, LodgeX has worked closely with SkyWest and Atlantic Southeast Airlines to reduce expenses without affecting airline services, by accurately forecasting lodging needs, negotiating lower room rates, ensuring hotel reservations during schedule disruptions, and auditing and consolidating billing.
