Alerts service keeps pilots in the loop
Ground transportation firm Fortis Riders (Booth No.

Ground transportation firm Fortis Riders (Booth No. 4693) earlier this year launched a real-time FBO notification system, in which pilots are notified when a passenger is en route to the airport.

“Pilots get the brunt of passenger angst,” said Fortis president and CEO Nathan Foy, explaining that the system allows pilots to begin preflight inspections and preparations in time for the passenger’s arrival. “Anything that can make the passenger happy makes the pilot look like a hero.”
