ARINC DirectSM Introduces Flight Planning for Mobile Devices
Annapolis, Maryland, USA, September 24, 2007-ARINC DirectSM today announced the addition of wireless mobile flight planning to its portfolio of services for business jet operators. The new service, ARINC Direct MobileTM, is designed for pilots and flight departments who want to create and submit flight plans using portable BlackberriesTM or other personal wireless devices.
ARINC Direct Mobile service is available immediately, and offers most of the features of ARINC's standard web-enabled flight planning service. Customers using the mobile interface can create and file flight plans, view their planned route of flight with weather radar overlays, update a departure time, retrieve text weather, or view the status of flight plans in their account. They can also create, and fax or e-mail a trip kit.
"Our Web interface only requires an Internet connection and access to a computer, and we process thousands of plans a day. But many customers have been asking for a wireless device option, to make last-minute changes or check on status when they cannot get to a computer," stated Bob Richard, ARINC Direct Senior Director. "We wanted to be responsive to our customers' needs and decided to dedicate a development team to accelerate our implementation schedule. Our beta version has just completed several weeks of successful testing with a select group of customers, and this feature is now available to everyone."
