Daniel Baker, CEO of FlightAware (Booth No. 4077), promised to “save operators a ton
of money” by developing a cost-free tool via the FlightAware.com Web site.

Baker announced the free software on Monday, saying that “the need to manage costs is particularly acute,” and that the online application will help to optimize the flying time, routing, fuel burn and cost of operation. Some 120,000 users are now registered and obtain more than two million reports per month via FlightAware’s flight tracking and reference data.
