CHICAGO, IL - April 29, 2010
– 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 it recently introduced real-time
airline flight information into more than 10,600 guest rooms in Las
Vegas. The flight
information is available on Flyte Systems’ FlyteChannel HD digital
guestroom television channel and streams live video airport departure
information for McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.
Flyte Systems is the only full service flight
information display solution that provides real-time departure
information.
Scott
Triphahn, vice president of Flyte Systems, said, “Flyte Systems is
streaming
real-time flight information to guest rooms throughout seven of the
newest Las Vegas luxury hotels over
a fiber
optic IP video network. This is a
world-class destination with every possible luxury amenity; it is
appropriate
that these signature properties provide guests with FlyteChannel HD to
add
confidence to their travel plans. Flyte Systems flight IP video
streaming is
the first of its kind in this industry. Providing guests with the
ability to
easily check their flight status from the comfort of their room offers
them a
seamless travel experience. It doesn’t
get more convenient than this.”
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.
