"Flyte Systems developed the new FlyteTouch PLUS travel information system based on its work with hundreds of hotels and other businesses to deliver the total travel system guests are asking for," said Brian Reynolds, president of Flyte Systems. "Our real-time airport flight information displays and kiosks provide a valuable service to travelers; and now we are enhancing our services to deliver local information on ground transportation, weather and regional safety-related issues."

Real-time Flight Information
What sets Flyte Systems apart from PC-based applications is the ability to post accurate, real-time airport 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.

In addition to FlyteTouch PLUS, Flyte Systems offers a suite of products 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.
• FlyteChannel permits guests to view live airport flight information conveniently and comfortably from their standard or high definition in-room television.
• FlyteTouch enables individual guests to access real-time flight information using an interactive touch screen that can be configured to display flight arrivals and departures for one or more airports.

Many hotel properties also use Flyte Systems' applications to increase revenue with innovative marketing approaches for travelers. For tips on how to generate revenue by providing guests with Flyte Systems airport information, please log on to Flyte Systems' website at flytesystems.com.
