OAG FlightTimes land on smartphones

OAG, the global leader in aviation intelligence, announces the release of OAG FlightTimes on iPhone, BlackBerry and Android.  This mobile app has the capability to display published flight schedules for every airline and airport in the world. 

OAG FlightTimes is available to airlines and airports who want to provide their customers with the convenience of flight schedules at their fingertips.  FlightTimes allows companies to brand the app and customize the content, such as by airport or airline, to meet their specific business strategies. 

This app is simply downloaded from your airport or airline website or from the appropriate app store, and users are then able to search for flights by route, by airport or by flight number.  iPhone customers have an additional search option via the interactive global navigation feature.  Search results can be saved, and saved flights are automatically updated when next accessed, so the user will always see the most current scheduled operating times.

FlightTimes users are able to search for direct or connecting flights.  Results include easy-to-read details about the carrier, flight number, departure and arrival airports, terminals, total travel time and stops.  OAG FlightTimes is linked to OAG Flight Status for real-time display of the estimated and actual flight departure and arrival times.

FlightTimes is based on OAG’s renowned database with schedules for over 1000 airlines and more than 4000 airports.  The database, the most comprehensive repository of airline schedules, is refreshed daily with up to 50,000 updates every day.  OAG schedules data has been at the core of travel distribution services for decades, with capabilities to display every flight scheduled, regardless of date, price or availability.  This unique OAG FlightTimes feature gives travel suppliers and road warriors a quick look at all scheduled flights – to plan a trip or review options when changes occur in-trip.
