Arlington, VA – January 8, 2003 – Flight Explorer®, the world’s leading provider of Internet-based real-time flight tracking information, reporting and display products, today announced the launch of Flight Explorer FastTrack, a service that will enable any website to display accurate flight-status information.

Flight Explorer FastTrack provides a turn-key solution for web sites operated by airlines, airports, travel sites, and other aviation-related entities that want their sites to be up and running within minutes.
Visitors to Flight Explorer FastTrack-enabled web sites can track a specific flight of interest in the US, Canada, and parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
