PASSUR Airport Delay Management Solution Selected by JetBlue Airways for Use at New York's JFK

Greenwich, CT— PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. announced today that JetBlue Airways has contracted for PASSUR’s ATC Portal™, a new, next-generation traffic flow management solution that helps improve hub reliability through advanced “health of the airport” analysis, trend predictions, and alerts capabilities.

“As a major airline, JetBlue Airways is demonstrating great leadership and business savvy in taking on this level of airspace management,” said Jim Barry, President and CEO of PASSUR Aerospace. “This new PASSUR capability, which derives greater efficiencies out of the existing airspace infrastructure, is critical to helping airlines improve airport throughput – thus reducing costs, improving hub reliability, and ultimately helping to improve the passenger travel experience.”

“Our business partner PASSUR’s latest innovative solution, ATC Portal, gives us a whole new level of visibility, diagnostics, and decision support in dealing with chronic air traffic issues in the New York airspace – with real, documented financial results,” said Bill Cranor, Director of Air Traffic Systems for JetBlue Airways. “Based on our experience with other PASSUR software, and our review of the product, we know ATC Portal will make a difference.”

The PASSUR Airline Productivity Program
Airlines managing complex flight operations need timely, accurate, and independent information about the status and performance of the airspace and individual flights. The PASSUR Airline Productivity Program enhances the level of accuracy, predictive capability, dependability and analytics offered by traditional flight and airspace management practices. These new capabilities help airline performance in areas of chronic, expensive operational challenges, such as diversions, Traffic Management Initiatives/Ground Delay Programs, and congested ground operations. The PASSUR Airline Productivity Program provides alerts, decision support, analysis and collaborative tools to prevent or optimize many of these conditions, in support of a more efficient, cost effective and customer-friendly operation.

PASSUR ATC Portal
ATC Portal is an outcomes-based airport efficiency program that enables airlines to determine, in real time, the most effective airport arrival and departure rates based on a variety of current and historical operational factors, using onscreen alerts, trend analysis, and decision support tools. Using ATC Portal, airline ATC coordinators can forecast a coming Traffic Management Initiative in real time, and recommend ways to prevent, mitigate, or optimize the event for significant financial savings to their airline. In addition, an historical analysis module allows the airline to analyze TMI events using baseline/outcomes data to help plan and influence future TMI management. Benefits include reducing or eliminating delays that would otherwise have occurred, and more effective coordination and collaboration with other parties, eliminating chronic delay conditions. As a result, passengers stay on schedule and the airline eliminates many of the significant costs of delays from their operating plan and budget.
