 CHICAGO,
IL April 1, 2008 – Flyte
Systems, the leading provider of airport
flight information displays and digital signage content for the hospitality,
digital
signage, convention centers and related businesses, announced it successfully
installed its FlyteBoard real-time airline flight information display at
the Hyatt Rosemont Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois.
“We installed FlyteBoard because it gives our guests greater confidence
in their travel arrangements,” said Christian Jacoby, Hyatt Rosemont’s
director of sales. “It is a valuable amenity that helps us gain more
guest ‘wallet share.’ When guests check the lobby FlyteBoard and see their
flight is delayed, they usually head to our outlets to relax in comfort
until their new departure time.” The Hyatt Rosemont FlyteBoard shows
departure times for airlines at Chicago O’Hare International Airport and
is wall-mounted adjacent to the front desk for guest convenience at checkout.
Real-time Flight Information
 FlyteBoard,
developed by Flyte Systems, is a wall, floor or ceiling mounted high-definition,
flat panel screen which properties install in public areas to provide guests
with ‘glance-and-go’ convenience for more accurate travel planning.
What sets Flyte Systems apart from other 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
-
Weather
Flyte Systems offers a suite of products that serve the traveling public:
FlyteTouch, FlytePass, FlyteChannel and FlyteBoard.
-
FlyteTouch enables individual guests to search flight information via touch
screens that display real-time flight arrivals and departures for one or
more airports.
-
FlytePass uses FlyteTouch technology and adds free, secure boarding pass
printing, packaged in an all-wood kiosk.
-
FlyteChannel permits guests to view live airport arrival/departure screens
via their in-room TV.
-
FlyteBoard is a wall, floor or ceiling mounted high-definition, flat panel
screen for lobbies, restaurants, bars and other public areas, displaying
flight information for one or more airports.
“Virtually all our guests fly in and out of O’Hare so it makes perfect
sense to provide live airline information services,” said Jacoby. “Flyte
Systems’ airline information comes to the property over our existing high-speed
Internet connection and the company’s installation and support are excellent.
It is a good investment.” FlyteSystems products are configurable
to display information from one or multiple airports.
Flyte Systems applications are often used by properties to generate
increased revenue streams with innovative marketing approaches to the distressed
traveler. For tips on how to generate revenue by providing guests
