Booth #225 at the 75th Annual AAAE Conference and Exposition in Los Angeles
Arlington, VA – April 28, 2003 – Flight Explorer®, the world's leading provider of Internet-based real-time flight tracking and information systems, and Lochard, the world's leading provider of airport noise and flight track monitoring solutions for airports, today announced that they will team to field new aviation data products focused on airport terminal areas.
Lochard will field a new capability, called SkyTrak®, that will enable customers to view, track, and operationally manage with extreme accuracy all airborne traffic within 60 nautical miles of airport terminal areas. SkyTrak will incorporate Flight Explorer software displays and functionality, thus making SkyTrak a compelling choice for discriminating aviation customers. SkyTrak's proprietary technology will provide the extreme accuracy required for close-in applications; and Flight Explorer's technology enables a complete global flight tracking and management capability.
Lochard and Flight Explorer will combine their technologies to offer a broad range of capabilities across the range of Lochard SkyTrak and Flight Explorer product suites. SkyTrak technology will enable the tracking of IFR and VFR flights within its 60 nautical mile range; and Flight Explorer will handle all available tracking beyond that-globally.
"Our customers now have an extraordinary opportunity to go to the next level in flight tracking solutions," said Walt Kross, CEO of Flight Explorer. "No matter what the customer's requirements, the Lochard and Flight Explorer team has a focused, tailored solution to meet the need-quickly and reliably."
