November 17, 2009 – Flyte Systems,
the leading provider of airport
travel information displays and digital signage
content for the hospitality industry, digital signage companies,
convention
centers and related businesses, announced its real-time airline
flight
information displays are now being used by Oracle at its corporate
headquarters and by Lockheed Martin at its Bethesda, Maryland training
facility. Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) installed FlyteBoard in the customer lounge of its Redwood Shores, CA corporate headquarters to display arrival and departure information for flights at nearby San Francisco International Airport. Oracle's FlyteBoard monitor shows flight times, gate information and status for all domestic and international carriers. Lockheed Martin is utilizing Flyte Systems’ FlyteBoard to display flights at Washington Dulles International, Baltimore Washington International, and Ronald Regan International Airports. They also installed a FlytePass kiosk that provides their visitors and traveling staff with boarding pass printing and real-time flight information for all three airports. “As carriers trim their flight schedules, it is essential that travelers have accurate information to reach their destinations on time,” said Scott Triphahn, vice president of Flyte Systems. “A missed flight can cause much longer delays than in the past. Flyte Systems’ subscription-based airport information displays, boarding pass printing, and in-room television flight information offer easy-to-use options that guests, staff and visitors value.” 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. .  Flyte Systems offers a suite of products that serve the traveling public: FlyteBoard, FlytePass, FlyteChannel and FlyteTouch.
