Exhibit 99.1

AirMedia Announces Installation of Digital Frames at Beijing Capital International Airport

Beijing, China – January 2, 2008 – AirMedia Group Inc. (Nasdaq: AMCN), the operator of the largest digital media network in China dedicated to air travel advertising, today announced that it has completed the installation of digital frames at Terminals 2 and 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport. Digital frames are high-definition LCD screens that can change displayed pictures expeditiously.

AirMedia upgraded 90 light box displays to 46-inch digital frames at Terminal 2 of Beijing Capital International Airport and has begun placing clients’ advertisements on these frames since the beginning of December 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had installed 328 46-inch digital frames and 120 70-inch digital frames at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport. The new digital frames at Terminal 3 will begin displaying paid advertisements when Terminal 3 is open for testing at the end of February 2008.

According to Beijing Capital International Airport, it is expected to become one of the world’s top five busiest airports and will have more than 64 million passenger departures and arrivals by the end of 2008. Newly constructed Terminal 3, which is scheduled to open for testing at the end of February 2008, is a centerpiece infrastructure project for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.

“I am very pleased that the installation has been completed as scheduled, which demonstrates again the superior execution ability of our team,” commented Herman Man Guo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AirMedia. “As our digital frames are placed at both sides of all 60 boarding gates at Terminal 3, and other prime locations with high air passenger traffic, we believe these new digital frames may optimize the effective reach of our clients’ advertisements, making them a very attractive advertising platform. We will continue to expand the number of digital frames in other airports of our network.”

In addition, AirMedia also installed 328 digital TV screens at Terminal 3 which increased AirMedia’s total number of digital TV screens in Beijing Capital International Airport to over 420.
