Full-service parking company WallyPark adds FlyteBoard
real-time airline info display for travelers



CHICAGO, IL May 28, 2009 �  Flyte Systems, the leading provider of airport travel information displays and digital signage content for the hospitality industry, digital signage, convention centers and related businesses, announced WallyPark, a full-service offsite airport parking company, installed the FlyteBoard real-time airline flight information display at its Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) parking facility.

The WallyPark FlyteBoard implementation provides up to the minute LAX airline departure times, national weather and traffic information for the Los Angeles area.  WallyPark is a full-service offsite airport parking company and its LAX site accommodates 1,600 vehicles.

�WallyPark is committed to delivering the highest service level to travelers; providing FlyteBoard live airline information for all LAX flights benefits our clients whether they are traveling locally or nationally,� said Carl Calhoun, assistant general manager of WallyPark Los Angeles International. Calhoun noted that WallyPark�s LAX facility installed FlyteBoard on a 42-inch display in its client lobby and worked with Flyte Systems to add updated traffic information for Los Angeles-area highways on the same display to aid travelers driving in the city.  �WallyPark LAX is a premiere facility, so providing our customers with the kind of progressive service that FlyteBoard offers is a great fit,� adds Calhoun.

FlyteBoard delivers flight information via strategically located digital signage monitors that display arrival and departure information as it appears at most airports.  Flyte Systems also offers live weather displays and regional traffic information in many locations as options.

Real-time Flight Information

What sets Flyte Systems apart from PC-based applications is the ability to post accurate, real-time airline flight arrival and departure information, not FAA-regulated scheduled departure times that do not list delays caused by air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, crew availability and weather.

Flyte Systems offers a suite of products that serve the traveling public:  FlyteBoard, FlytePass, FlyteChannel and FlyteTouch. 

  • FlyteBoard is a wall, floor or ceiling mounted high-definition, flat panel screen for  public areas, displaying flight information and other services for one or more airports.
  • FlytePass combines the live flight info display capability of FlyteTouch with free, secure boarding pass printing and can be provided stand alone or neatly packaged in an optional all wood kiosk or integrated metal kiosk, to match your décor.
  • FlyteChannel permits guests to view live airport flight information conveniently and comfortably from their standard or high-definition in-room television.
  • FlyteTouch enables individual guests to search flight information using an interactive touch screen that displays real-time flight arrivals and departures for one or more airports.
Many hotel properties also use Flyte Systems� applications to increase revenue with innovative marketing approaches for distressed travelers.  For tips on how to generate revenue by providing guests with Flyte Systems airline information, please log on to the Flyte Systems website at www.flytesystems.com.
