AeroStatus - Advantages and features

One of the primary advantages of the AeroStatus service is its ease of use. All you have to do to receive updates is to send an SMS text message with the flight number and AeroStatus will immediately begin to send information on that flight back to you, including the flight's location, its scheduled departure, confirmation of departure, notification of delay, the airport that it is scheduled to arrive at, the type of plane it is, etc. AeroStatus provides the information in real-time, meaning that as soon as air traffic control receives information, you will receive the information. As a result, you will always be informed about what is going on both on the ground and in the sky.

AeroStatus also comes at a very low price. The mobile phone owner pays only for the first SMS message requesting the flight status information (the one in which the request with the air flight number is sent), and all subsequent message updates for that flight are free.

Besides helping airline passengers make better economic use of their time and money with its affordable flight status service, AeroStatus can also help airline companies enhance their customer service capabilities by making communication between the airline and the customers more streamlined and efficient. For example, if during the ticket purchase the customer leaves their mobile phone number with the airline, then that airline can use the number to send any information regarding changes in the flight schedule to that passenger free of charge. In this way, the customer could be notified about bad weather conditions or other problems in advance, eliminating the need for that customer to go to the airport earlier than necessary.

Widespread use of AeroStatus could also help alleviate overcrowding in airport terminals. If people are notified in advance about changes in flight schedules, waiting areas are less likely to become overcrowded. It would also reduce complaints from passengers, who will be more satisfied with the service provided by the airline and will be more likely to chose that airline's services again.

Despite its apparent simplicity, it would be incorrect consider AeroStatus a primitive one-way information system. In reality it is a fully interactive communication system connecting airline passengers with the entire information infrastructure serving the airline industry. The AeroStatus system is capable of working with virtually any existing databases. In fact, depending on consumer demand, various additional services are available, including (but not limited to) seat availability information for specific flights, pricing information, ticket booking, special meal orders, and taxi reservation. As a result, an airline can implement the AeroStatus service at a minimum expense, and in doing so provide an entire new range of impressive information and notification services to its customers.

Not only can AeroStatus streamline the process by which airline passengers and airline companies communicate with each other, but in doing so it can also help reduce expenses associated with some of the antiquated services presently provided by the airlines. For instance, fewer phone operators will be required to respond to service and flight information related phone calls, as a substantial portion of these requests can be handled by the fully automated SMS information service.

AeroStatus system can also be used for advertising purposes. Customers receiving text messages with the requested flight information will pay special attention to them, meaning that advertising information also placed within these messages will be noticed. The advertising can be presented in a number of ways, including the presence of a logo or information about additional services (including new flights, discounts, bonus programs etc.) provided by the airline or airline partner. In this case the use of AeroStatus service will not only benefit the image of the company, but also create additional profit.

By providing a new mobile information service such as AeroStatus to its customers, a company can only enhance its reputation in the marketplace as an organization that is on the cutting edge of modern information technologies. The use of the most advanced technologies in today's world is proving increasingly popular, and the introduction of AeroStatus service will help establish an image of a more advanced and client-oriented company.

It must be specifically mentioned, that there is no other system in the world like AeroStatus. Therefore airline companies can offer their clients a unique product while also providing advertisers direct access to a relatively wealthy demographic.
