Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall (BWI) Airport announced it has selected FlightView, a supplier of in-terminal displays of flight and weather tracking, to provide the same technology to a newly upgraded Web site.

The airport launched the new features from FlightView on October 15th.

"We wanted to continue to provide our passengers with top-quality service at their convenience," said Timothy Campbell, executive director for the Maryland Aviation Administration. "We enhanced our Web site to make it accessible, simple and informative for the travel community-whether it's someone deciding whether to leave for the airport, or a visitor tracking a loved one's flight."

FlightView's custom tracking map, data, and updates were integrated into the new site in less than a month. The flight tracking tool and status updates blend with the Web site's interface, contributing to a simple, understandable display. With the addition of precise weather radar overlays, BWI Airport said site visitors don't need to navigate away from the page to gain a view into their flight status.
