Coast-to-Coast FlightView Deployments Give Travelers a View into
the Sky
BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
Fourteen airports have joined the more than 200 already using
FlightView to share the industry's most accurate and actionable
real-time flight information in an effort to ease the traveling
public's woes. With 1 in 5 travelers experiencing a flight delay due
either to bad weather, unavailability of an aircraft or mechanical
problems (J.D. Power and Associates 2007 North American Airport
Satisfaction Survey(SM)), these airports are taking a proactive
approach to sharing flight information with travelers struggling to
stay on schedule.
FlightView offers real-time visual displays of arrivals and
departures on a high resolution satellite map. FlightView's product is
customizable, providing high-resolution real-event, real-time content
including arrivals, departures, weather conditions and airport delays.
FlightView displays give travelers the ability to view air traffic
affecting their airports as well as any weather delays which could
upset their immediate travel plans.
"Customer satisfaction and shorter lines at customer service
counters benefit travelers and airlines immediately and for the long
term," said the director of Dayton International Airport. "FlightView
provides a visual display that gives our passengers and their families
instant information they can use and understand."
Some of FlightView's latest airport installations include:
-- Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) - one of the
30 busiest airports in the U.S. and 1 of 3 international
airports serving the Baltimore-Washington D.C. corridor
-- Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) -
located in Boone County, Kentucky, the airport services more
than 16 million passengers from the tri-state area
-- Dayton International Airport (DAY) - ranked in the top 100
U.S. airports and within 90 minutes by air to 55 percent of
the country's population
-- Glynn County Airport Commission (BQK and SSI) - operates two
airports serving Brunswick and the Golden Isles of Georgia
-- Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) -commercial hub airport
servicing Shreveport and the surrounding region, including
North Louisiana, East Texas and Southwest Arkansas
-- Texas A&M University/Easterwood Airport (CLL) - owned and
operated by Texas A&M University (TAMU), the airport is the
sole facility within the Bryan-College Station metropolitan
area and the Research Valley
-- Tucson International Airport (TUS) - located on 8,244 acres 12
miles south of Tucson, passenger traffic has increased to more
than 4 million passengers in the past year
"Airports are making a conscious effort to make travel less
stressful for passengers," said Michael Benjamin, CEO of FlightView.
"By looking up at a map and tracking their own flights - whether
through a storm or via a connecting airport experiencing delays -
travelers feel more in control and can better manage their travel
plans on their own terms."
