FlightAware Launches Ground Coverage For Business Aviation
Ready to Taxi notifies users when an aircraft powers on at its origin, taxis out, taxis in and parks at its destination FBO or airport.
ORLANDO (Oct.15, 2018) -- FlightAware has announced a new service for business aviation operators that provides information and tracking for an aircraft's movements on the ground. Ready to Taxi notifies users when an aircraft powers on at its origin, taxis out, taxis in and parks at its destination FBO or airport.
"We developed these new features specifically for our business aviation users and we think they are going to love what we've done," said Daniel Baker, FlightAware Founder and CEO. "Customers will automatically receive an alert when the crew powers on the aircraft and when it taxis out, eliminating the need to call the FBO or pilots for this information. It makes things a lot easier for everyone involved."
Ready to Taxi leverages FlightAware's network of over 19,000 terrestrial ADS-B receivers that will provide ground coverage at over 1,000 airports, including 2,000 FBOs. For aircraft traveling to airports currently not coverage by FlightAware's terrestrial ADS-B network, users will see the same surface statuses without the specific FBO information. FBOs can add coverage at their facility for free by contacting FlightAware's customer service team.
