Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 -- Flyte Systems (http://flytesystems.com/AboutFlyte.html?campaign=PRWebKokuaApril292008), the leading provider of airport travel information (http://flytesystems.com/FAQs.html?campaign=PRWebKokuaApril292008) displays and digital signage (http://flytesystems.com/digitalsignage.html?campaign=PRWebKokuaApril292008) content for the hospitality industry, digital signage providers, convention centers and related businesses, announced that Kokua Hospitality, LLC of Chicago inked an agreement to install its FlyteBoard real-time airline flight information (http://flytesystems.com/hospitality.html?campaign=PRWebKokuaApril292008) displays, FlytePass boarding pass printing kiosks and FlyteChannel in-room television feeds at five properties. Kokua plans to rollout Flyte products in other hotels in the future.
"The decision to install all three Flyte products was easy because Flyte Systems' services add considerable value to our properties," said Craig Strickler, Kokua Hospitality LLC's corporate director of transitions and projects. Kokua is respected for its upscale destinations. Its service-oriented philosophy caters to experienced business travelers, conventioneers and leisure guests. The first Flyte Systems installations will be at Kokua's two Adams Mark properties in Indianapolis, IN and Buffalo, NY, followed by its three landmark properties in Chicago: The Allerton Hotel, Chicago City Centre Hotel & Sports Club, and the Inn of Chicago.
Customized Products and One-stop Shopping Convenience
"Flyte Systems services are a unique amenity that guests do not expect, but really love," Strickler noted. "I know from personal experience that waiting out flight delays in the comfort of my hotel is far better than sitting in a plastic chair at the airport. Guests appreciate a high level of service and expect it from properties like ours." Strickler also said that Flyte was able to customize its products to match his properties décor. "We're in the final stages of extensive renovations at several properties and because we want our lobby areas to be seamless, Flyte is customizing its boarding pass kiosks to match the exact color and wood we used. It's that type of attention to detail that matters."
Flyte Systems products utilize a property's existing high-speed Internet connection, so installation is also a simple process. "Providing guests with the ability to easily check their flight status information (http://www.flytesystems.com/FlyteChannel.html?campaign=PRWebKokuaApril292008), either from the lobby or the comfort of their room, and then print boarding passes, offers them the convenience of a seamless travel experience. It doesn't get more convenient than that," Strickler said.
Real-time Flight Information
What sets Flyte Systems apart from other PC-based applications is its ability to post accurate, real-time airline flight arrival and departure information (http://flytesystems.com/FlyteBoard.html?campaign=PRWebKokuaApril292008), not FAA-regulated scheduled departure times that do not list delays caused by:
? Air Traffic Control
? Aircraft maintenance
? Crew availability
? Weather
Flyte Systems offers a suite of products that serve the traveling public: FlyteTouch, FlytePass, FlyteChannel and FlyteBoard.
? FlyteTouch enables individual guests to search flight information via touch screens that display real-time flight arrivals and departures for one or more airports.
? FlytePass uses FlyteTouch technology and adds free, secure boarding pass printing, packaged in an all-wood kiosk.
? FlyteChannel permits guests to view live airport arrival/departure screens via their in-room TV.
? 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.
