INTERACTIVE FLIGHT INFORMATION DISPLAY NOW AVAILABLE TO BUSINESSES CONVENIENTLY ON COMPUTER DESKTOP

FlyteComm offers accurate real-time airline independent flight information tool for the PC desktop

San Jose, CA – 12 February 2002.  FlyteComm announces FANS, the first Flight Information Display software (FIDS) tailored for use by off-airport businesses that need reliable information about airplane arrivals. The information normally shown on screens throughout our nation’s airports is now available directly on the computer desktop. Up-to-the-minute flight listings by airport, arrival time, and other criteria are available to rental car and limousine services and others. Benefits of having real time flight information at the fingertips include better service to customers, operational awareness and improved logistics.    

Many businesses rely on flight departure and arrival information, but until now, there has not been software specifically for businesses.  Limousine, rental car, shuttle services, hotels, concierge, travel departments and even fixed based operators require timely and accurate knowledge of flight information in order to operate efficiently.  In today’s congested airports, delayed flights are common and coordinating business functions is difficult without flight status information for specific flights.

FANS cross-correlates flight schedule information with FAA telemetry to yield a truly airline independent display that businesses and travelers can depend on for minute-by-minute flight status updates. 

FANS is deployed directly onto the computer desktop for interactive use.  Users may input specific flights or airports.  They may sort flights by any criteria, including flight status, arrival times, departure or arrival airport, aircraft type and more.  Travel departments, hotels and limousine services can keep track of specific flights corresponding to customers on flights.  Rental car companies can now optimize lot space based on customers arriving first.  Air courier companies can now do precision tracking of shipments.

FANS is available immediately with a free 15-day trial offered for travelers and businesses that rely on air transportation.  For more information, visit http://www.flytecomm.com on the web.
