Nov 14th, 2006

In high demand from corporate travelers, nuTravel has used Web Services technology to deliver innovation and competitive advantage to their customers

nuTravel Technology Solutions LLC, a leading provider of mid-market corporate travel online booking tools, has released Flight Notes ™, the first, fully integrated, flight status traveler alert system. Powered by Flightstats, the only provider of complete, global real-time flight status information and event notification platform, nuTravel’s Flight Notes pushes real-time updates to the corporate traveler’s mobile devices on their flight status, preflight, in-flight, and post-flight.

“Of course it’s nice to know that your flight is being delayed or the gate has changed via a message sent to your email or your cell phone, but we’ve taken it one step further”, says Joe Sternlicht, nuTravel’s CTO, “Flight Notes not only allows corporate travelers to set up mobile notifications to their own mobile phones and PDA’s, it also allows them to notify other trip shareholders; limo drivers, hotels or business associates that their plane has landed or that their arrival time has been changed.” At the time of ticketing or in the traveler’s profile, the traveler can assign other recipients to whom specific information should be communicated as they travel. The user can even set thresholds on how much of a change is worthy of sending an alert.

nuTravel’s Flight Notes can have alerts sent to email addresses and cell phones or PDA’s for delays in departure or arrival times and gate changes, as well as flight status changes such as departed, landed, at-gate, diverted, and even cancelled. Our travel agency partners can also customize these messages for their corporate travelers by specifying their agency in the sender information for the alerts. The agency can even include their phone number as a convenient way for the traveler to contact the agency if needed.

“By integrating FlightStats data and event notification, nuTravel is the first to offer corporate agents a premium capability that exceeds any available from online travel agents or airlines.” Said Meara McLaughlin, VP of Business Development at FlightStats. “By making this process seamless for the traveler, nuTravel provides the their customers with a uniquely competitive advantage.”
