FlyteComm® Beats Air Travel Delays with Flight Intelligence Family of Products and Services

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL—April 19, 2000. FlyteComm Corporation today announced the release of a family of flight intelligence products for air travelers in response to the latest FAA projected flight delays for the coming summer season. The products, which include web and wireless based delivery systems, will allow both travelers and those picking up travelers at airports to more effectively manage their time by providing concise aircraft positions and airport status information.

The most prominent includes a wireless notification system based on both up-to-the-minute flight arrival information as well as departure delay data, alerting travelers when their flight may be departing late. Both information products will be offered through FlyteComm's wireless partners, i3Mobile and SmartRay, as well as through the Internet at the FlyteComm web site, located at www.trackaflight.com and over 600 other web sites that have adopted this compelling content.

"With the record level of flights projected to operate during the coming summer travel season, delays due to air traffic congestion and weather will most certainly impact many travelers", stated Jeff Reis, company spokesman. "Our goal is to provide both the traveler as well as the person meeting the traveler at the airport with timely status information to minimize the amount of time they must spend at the airport waiting for a flight or creating greater congestion and pollution circling outside."

FlyteComm provides flight intelligence to the Internet for both businesses and consumers. Products include WebTrax™, a free real-time commercial aircraft tracker for use in Internet portals, news & travel websites. Flight delay, arrival and departure, as well as airport conditions are just some of the products FlyteComm offers to transportation, travel, media, and wireless markets.
