Flight Explorer Announces New Offering to Enhance Customer Service, Flight Explorer VIP Advisor

- Give Your Clients the Ability to Provide Customers with Real-Time Updates Via Email, on the Status of In-Flight Cargo or Passengers -

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you want to give your clients a real-time update on the status of aircraft carrying their personnel or cargo? Flight Explorer has the answer.

Flight Explorer, the world's most trusted and accepted provider of Internet-based, real-time global flight tracking information, reporting and display products, today announced the arrival of Flight Explorer VIP Advisor, a service that any aviation-related company can use to send a personalized email automatically to a client(s) that includes a link to a graphic display of an aircraft's location.

After a user enters a few pieces of information including a flight number, flight time and client's email address, Flight Explorer VIP Advisor automatically sends an email with a link to a customized web page, allowing the recipient to track their flight of interest. The easy-to-use graphical interface allows the user to set up one or even hundreds of emails to be sent automatically upon an aircraft's departure, arrival or a specific number of minutes prior to departure or arrival. This gives Flight Explorer customers a way of providing clients with updated flight information and enhanced customer service.

Walt Kross, CEO of Flight Explorer, said, "Automating the aircraft tracking function with a simple email or two will save time and money for customers while giving them a powerful customer service tool that their clients will appreciate. We are very excited to offer this value-added service to our customers."

Specific use examples include:
* Charter operators or fixed-base operators (FBOs) can preempt a flurry
of phone calls on whether a particular aircraft has arrived by sending
an email on the plane's status to interested parties through VIP
Advisor.

* Air ambulance operators can let the hospital and family members know
when to expect a patient to arrive and provide them with a way to track
the flight.

* Air cargo carriers can provide customers with real-time updates on the
status of their shipment.
