Travelers Can Avoid being stranded by Getting real-time Airport Information

Since the last holiday season, FAA has been running a website that offers great services to the flying public. Now, passengers can get real-time airport information on their Blackberry, cell phone and other devices such as PDA. If you have your laptop, you can go to www.fly.faa.gov to find real-time airport conditions and delays. If you know what is going on at the airport and the destination airport, you may endure the long delays better.

By moving a mouse cursor over one of the airports featured on a map of the United States, passengers can get detailed info about the weather and other reasons why the planes have not been able to take off or arrive. Now you can also get information, such as current average delay times and the reason for the delay just by clicking on the airport of your choice.

The press release was sent out last November 2007. For many of the frequent flyers, this site is a time-saver. Now passengers may know why they get stuck at the airport. "Travelers equipped with pagers, cell phones or personal digital assistants such as BlackBerry devices can obtain delay information from the FAA via e-mail. Users can register for the free "Aviation Information System," at the www.fly.faa.gov site."
