Flyte Systems is the only full service flight information display solution that provides real-time departure information. “Our contemporary hotel was designed to minimize the stress of today’s busy travel demands and the new FlyteBoards in our lobby give guests the latest, most accurate information to optimize their time” said Todd Winch, general manager of the Courtyard Miami Airport South. “Our FlyteBoard is a travel center that not only gives real-time flight information, but was customized for our properties to display our complimentary shuttles departure times, along with other destination options for our 828 room Marriott Miami Airport Campus. With FlyteBoard’s reliable airline information in the lobby, guests can stay on property longer and enjoy a meal with greater confidence in their travel plans,” Winch said. FlyteBoard displays flight information via strategically located high resolution digital signage monitors. “We know the FlyteBoard information is reliable, so our management team also monitors it for flight cancellations that influence the number of distressed passengers to expect. FlyteBoard delivers valuable information for both guests and staff.” 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.
