 Real-time
Flight Information
What sets Flyte Systems apart from PC-based applications is the ability

that serve the traveling public including FlyteBoard, FlytePass, FlyteChannel
and FlyteTouch.

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.
-
FlytePass combines real-time flight information 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.

and comfortably from their standard or high definition in-room television.
