FlightAware and FlightBridge Partner to Provide Seamless Flight Tracking
The leading flight tracking and logistics management system are now integrated for business aviation operators and FBOs
LAS VEGAS - October 21, 2019 - FlightAware and FlightBridge announced the availability of seamless integration between their respective products for both business aviation operators and FBOs. Users of FlightAware Global and FlightAware FBO Toolbox now receive scheduled flight and FBO information directly from FlightBridge before a flight plan is even filed, enabling more proactive tracking by both the operator and FBO without requiring FBO selection or data entry on FlightAware. The partnership will enhance service to aircraft operators by better connecting them with their Fixed Base Operators (FBOs).
Additionally, business aviation operators and FBOs using FlightBridge now benefit from FlightAware's real-time flight tracking status information including Ready To Taxi„¢ surface events such as powered-on, taxied-out, and parked times. These features are available to customers of both products when the aircraft operator has opted-in by enabling the two-way integration in the FlightBridge application.
FlightBridge provides fully customizable Flight Following Dashboards that enable aircraft operators to track any event important to their operation. The Flight Following display is a color-coded, labeled status board that can easily satisfy position reporting requirements for all flights and provides updates with a quick glance. With the FlightAware/FlightBridge partnership, aircraft operators that subscribe to FlightAware Global and FlightBridge will now have many of their Flight Following event updates automatically updated in FlightBridge based on those events detected through the FlightAware network, including ground events, such as power-on, taxi-out, and taxi-in.
FBOs that subscribe to FlightBridge to manage their schedule will now have real-time updates of arrival times on their FlightBridge schedule. This integration provides the more efficient experience of seeing information from both platforms in a single display. Additionally, FlightAware FBO Toolbox users will now see scheduled flights from FlightBridge before a flight plan is even filed and know if the aircraft will be arriving at their FBO.
FlightAware Global provides private, professional flight tracking and is used by over ten thousand aircraft owners and operators around the world. Operators benefit from a single, integrated interface that fuses data from thousands of sources including air traffic control, datalink, and ADS-B. Private tracking puts aircraft owners and operators in control of who can track their flights.
