These days, delayed flights are a given. It doesn’t matter the airline, the pilot or the airport; chances of your flight leaving on time are low. So plan ahead right? Well now you can, thanks to some serious flight tracking technology, the Internet, and recently, our mobile phones, predicting flight delays even before they happen has become a reality.

Today, Allston Mass., company FlightView launched their brand new BlackBerry app tailored for the BlackBerry’s touchscreen phone, the Storm.

FlightView is the recognized provider of the most accurate, real-time flight information solutions for the aviation and travel industries. FlightView’s Flight Tracker is used by millions of travelers via their mobile phones or computers to track a flight’s status. The U.S. government, airlines, airports, ground transportation, and news outlets all use FlightView’s software and services to keep airline travel running smoothly and passengers informed.

FlightView’s Flight Tracker mobile app is also available for the iPhone and Palm as well as each one of the Blackberry models. “Since launching our first BlackBerry app in 2009, we have been inundated by requests from Storm users for a version that works on their device,” said Mike Benjamin, the CEO of FlightView.

Flight Tracker’s unique app for the BlackBerry Storm will allow users to:

• Synchronize scheduled flights with BlackBerry’s calendar and update the traveler with gate, arrival, and departure changes in real time.
• Integrate Flight Tracker with BlackBerry alerts–travelers are alerted the minute their flight is delayed or canceled.
• Track friends and family’s flight in real time.
• Plan their trips with up-to-date weather reports.

BlackBerry’s core demographic is business people–people who are constantly traveling and can’t afford to miss a flight or waste hours at an airport. Flight Tracker’s calendar and alert integration feature will keep business professionals travel efficient and not let them skip a beat.

FlightView is continuing their focus on mobile technology, they’re launching Flight Tracker for the Android this summer. If you’re not up with the smartphone trend, it’s cool, FlightView has the same flight tracking services online at www.flightview.com.  But, if your into travelling and like to be in the know, you need a smarthphone, because this app rocks!
