Flyte Systems offering airline information at hotels
October 15, 2008
Flyte Systems, a provider of
subscription-based airport flight information
displays and digital signage content
for the hospitality industry, convention centers and related businesses, has partnered
with interactive digital signage provider DisplayIQ to install real-time
airline travel information at two properties on the DisplayIQ
platform. Flyte Systems is the only company that provides real-time
airline departure information.
Hotels implementing Flyte Systems airline information on the
DisplayIQ interactive digital signage platform are the Fairmont Chicago and the
Hyatt Regency Phoenix. A third installation is anticipated at a Ritz
Carlton property by year end.
“At every property where we have installed our digital
signage systems, managers asked for live flight time information,” said Brian
Cunningham, president of DisplayIQ, a division of RoomNet, Inc. “Hotel
operators today know guests expect to have access to live airline information
at any quality property. We utilize Flyte Systems’ real-time airline
information in an interactive format so guests see airline flight times and may
even customize the view for their greatest ease of use.”
Cunningham
explained DisplayIQ also deploys property information in a unique interactive
platform that takes digital signage beyond traditional informational
readerboards. “Our display solutions represent the next level in
hospitality signage which incorporates interactive touch for photo-realistic
wayfinding, meeting information, live flight status, touch-to-dial and SMS
functionality which connects guests instantly from their mobile phone to
property attractions from dining to spa to golf or even the front desk.”
Brian Reynolds, president of Flyte Systems, said, “As Flyte
Systems expands services to more properties, hotel companies and convention
centers, it is also partnering with leading digital signage providers like
DisplayIQ that incorporate our live airline data into their interactive guest
information technology.” The Flyte Systems – DisplayIQ digital signage
offering is an ASP-driven solution that delivers continuously updated information
to ensure flight times are accurate and frees properties from system upgrade
and maintenance responsibility.
