 PROFILE
Buying decisions up in the air? That's fine with SkyMall, publisher of in-flight catalogs that feature about 2,000 products provided by top notch retailers, including Brookstone, Hammacher Schlemmer, The Sharper Image, and The Wine Enthusiast. A subsidiary of media company Gemstar-TV Guide International, SkyMall places its catalogs in seat pockets on Amtrak and on about 20 airlines, which receive commissions on catalog sales. Its catalogs are also found in hotel rooms, airport lounges, and on select international flights. The company operates two Web sites: skymall.com (retail sales of about 7,600 products) and skymalltravel.com (travel site). Gemstar bought SkyMall in July 2001.
