OAG, sponsors of ABTN and the world's largest provider of flight schedules and online travel has unveiled a web-based flight information display system. OAG Web-FiDS provides medium sized airports, airlines and travel-related service companies worldwide with a cost-effective way of distributing passenger and cargo flight schedules and flight status to their customers. Data can either be integrated into existing websites or displayed on monitors at multiple locations such as airports and hotels. With its massive database at Dunstable (England) OAG collates this unique information from airlines, airports and air-traffic-control operations around the world. Standard features of OAG Web-FiDS include carrier, flight number, departure/arrival airport, scheduled time, estimated/actual time, status (ie delayed, on-time, arrived) and gate and terminal information. By combining the OAG schedules database with flight status data, OAG is able to provide a fully-hosted remote solution with data updates every minute. Customers can also choose how they want the data to be displayed, with OAG offering a customised interface that can reflect corporate branding and individual preferences. OAG Web-FiDS also provides the facility for companies to distribute flight status notification directly to customers on their mobile devices via SMS or email messages. A free trial is available too.
