Megadata Announces Denver International Airport has Expanded PASSUR Integration with Multiple Additional PASSUR® Products
Greenwich, CT, March 3, 2006 — Megadata Corporation (OTC: MDTA) announced today that Denver International Airport (DEN) has expanded its use of PASSUR software solutions beyond finance, into Airport Operations, Public Relations, Marketing, and the Noise Office, for better decision making by managers, instant communications during irregular operations, and more accurate public information. Application software to be used includes PASSUR Portal™; PASSUR Pulse™ and PASSUR inSight™.
“Accurate airport and flight information is key for management to make good operational decisions and to provide our customers – both the airlines and the traveling public – with the highest degree of customer service, for which Denver International Airport is known throughout the world,” said Ron Schlotthauer, Ramp Tower Manager.
“Denver International Airport started two years ago as a pioneer in the use of PASSUR Pulse for landing fee validation,’ said Jim Barry, Megadata President and CEO. “We’re thrilled that their experience has convinced them to expand the use of PASSUR information and software throughout their enterprise, making us an important and trusted partner in so many aspects of their business.”
Some of the new ways PASSUR will be used at Denver International Airport are:
• Better decision making for airport managers through accurate and complete airport information, such as PASSUR ETAs, runway information, and visual flight following on PASSUR inSight and Portal
• Better response times during regular and irregular operations through instant communications on Portal Collaborative Decision Making tools
• Reduced financial burden of DEN’s Preferential Runway noise program, through better alerts to, and explanations of, noise events on PASSUR inSight, Portal and Pulse
• Better public information by providing the public the most accurate real-time flight status.
PASSUR Pulse Revenue Module has already resulted in significantly higher rates of landing fee capture and compliance over the past two years.
PASSUR Portal is at the heart of the PASSUR Collaborative Decision Making approach, providing an instant, live snapshot of vital operational information on a “web dashboard” of multiple information sets derived from the one-of-a-kind PASSUR database, and tools for instant information sharing and communication among all users. Portal is the main access point for all other PASSUR web services.
PASSUR Pulse gives airports easily distributed access to landing fee and operations reports from the unique PASSUR database of flight information, through a secure web site.
PASSUR inSight is the only web-based flight following program that combines national en route flight tracking with precision, terminal-area tracking from the PASSUR network of radar, along with a next-generation graphics engine for real-motion tracking and aircraft movement and the renowned PASSUR ETA
