FlightAware Releases Free, Revolutionary, Fuel Optimizing, Online Flight Planning at NBAA
FROM THE FLOOR OF NBAA 2008 / ORLANDO, FLA (October 6, 2008) - FlightAware, the world leader in flight tracking and online aviation data with over 120,000 registered pilots, released a free online flight planning application this morning at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention in Orlando, Florida. FlightAware Flightplan does not require pilots or dispatchers to pick altitudes, routes, or make guesses about fuel optimizations. Aircraft operators use a web browser to enter minimal information and are presented with an optimized routing matrix from which they can click to file their flight plans with the FAA and print for the cockpit.
"We're going to save operators a ton of money," said Daniel Baker, Chief Executive Officer, adding "They've been telling us they want a flight planning application that's as easy to use as FlightAware.com's flight tracking, that helps them optimize flight times, fuel burn and operating costs. FlightAware flight planning delivers all that, and arrives at a time when operators need to manage costs is particularly acute."
