Real-time information on airline flights can now be displayed in the public areas of casino hotels using the FlyteBoard digital screen by Chicago-based Flyte Systems.

Co-developed with Santa Ana, Calif.-based Display IQ, the FlyteBoard is a wall-, floor- or ceiling-mounted high-definition flat panel screen the hooks to the Internet to provide current flight information for all airlines serving local airports. It includes information about delays and cancellations too.

The system can be expanded with a number of software packages. FlyteTouch enables guests to search flight information via touch screens and coupled with FlytePass lets them check in and print boarding passes. FlyteChannel expands the real-time flight information service to in-room TV sets.

If a guest knows his or her flight has been delayed for several hours they can secure their boarding passes but stick around longer at the casino instead of waiting at the airport.

The system also can direct guests to other amenities at the property, such as restaurants.
