OAG unveils Flight Status Alerts offering new perspective on instant flight changes

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 (Bernama) -- OAG, provider of travel data and insight, has launched its new Flight Status Alerts, which delivers an all-new view of immediate flight changes.

According to a statement, Flight Status Alerts directly integrates into OAG’s Flight Info Platform, which already provides a continuous stream of flight schedule changes.

Flight Status Data together with Flight Schedules now delivers the broadest possible coverage of flight information to OAG customers which include booking engines, travel and hospitality apps, airline apps, online travel agencies, metasearch, search engines and flight tracking apps.

This powerful combination provides a first-of-its-kind flight window into key schedules and status data – from the moment a flight is scheduled to when luggage hits the baggage belt, and everything in between.

“As the future of travel continues to evolve, the market requires quick and easy access to what’s happening on the ground and in the air to plan, inform and drive better customer experiences and operational outcomes,” said its Chief Executive Officer, Phil Callow.

Powered by Microsoft’s Azure Event Hub, the advanced technology delivers speed and scale to notifications on OAG’s Flight Info Platform, and processes an average of 40 updates each second and provides millions of updates in real-time on schedule and status changes.

Key benefits of the flight window include new and improved traveller experiences and greater customer loyalty; frictionless access to high-quality data; and increased scalability and versatility.
