Cork Airport has launched a new flight tracking feature on its app. It is the first airport in the world to offer this feature with Flightradar24, allowing passengers to click on a flight number and track live updates of exactly where the aircraft is at that moment in time.
The new flight tracking feature on the Cork Airport app allows passengers to click on a flight number and track live updates of exactly where the aircraft is at that moment in time.
The flight tracking feature shows the aircraft’s route, speed, type of aircraft, altitude, distance travelled and total distance to destination. Additional features include a live map of flights in and out of Cork Airport in real time, which can be filtered by arrivals and departures. This updated flight tracking feature now makes it even easier for passengers to plan their journey to and from the airport.
“We are delighted to launch the new flight scanning feature on our app. To be the first airport in the world to introduce this innovative feature is a fantastic achievement and is a further example of Cork Airport’s commitment to providing a world-class customer experience for every passenger using the airport,” Kevin Cullinane, Head of Communications, Cork Airport, commented. “Last year we became the first airport in Ireland to make Google Indoor maps available for all public areas of Cork Airport and in 2015 we will continue to innovate and introduce new initiatives to maintain the world-class customer experience for which we are known.”
The free Cork Airport app, which was launched last year, is the essential guide to the full range of services available at the airport. In addition to the new flight tracking feature, the app features live bus and coach departure times, live arrivals and departures information, car park booking, integrated maps and details of all retail and catering outlets within the terminal. The app also includes links to airport shopping services with all the latest offers from The Loop. It provides current weather details at Cork Airport, as well as live weather reports for all destinations.
The updated Cork Airport App is available to download free in the iTunes and Google Play stores.
