CHICAGO, IL October 29, 2008 – Flyte
Systems, the leading provider of subscription-based airport
flight information displays and digital
signage content for the hospitality industry, convention centers and
related businesses, announced that 14 properties signed contracts to install
the company’s airline travel information products in the past 60 days.
Properties installing FlyteBoard, FlytePass or FlyteChannel include Spring
Hill Suites, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, Westin, InterContinental,
Doubletree, Crowne Plaza and other brands. Flyte Systems currently
has more than 100 subscribers in 34 cities.
 “A
growing number of forward-looking operators are adding guest services that
drive repeat business because they have real value for travelers,” said
Brian Reynolds, Flyte Systems’ president. “Our cost-effective airline
flight information displays, boarding pass printing, and guest-room services
set properties apart, increase customer loyalty and drive revenue.
Guests expect these types of travel services today and they are appreciative
when they see Flyte products on property.” Flyte Systems is the only
full-service flight information company that provides real-time airline
departure times.
An Immediate ROI
The recent installations across the US from Baltimore to Los Angeles
confirm the value of Flyte Systems’ low-risk, cost effective subscription
service that installs quickly and easily and delivers immediate benefits
to guests and operators. “Customers tell us their guests and corporate
meeting planners specifically look for our products when selecting a property
because they help avoid lengthy and often unnecessary stays in the airport
caused by airline delays and cancellations,” said Reynolds. “It’s
rare to find a product that delivers an ROI so quickly.”
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.
