Kokua Hospitality uses hotel digital signage for flight updates
April 28, 2008
CHICAGO, Ill. — Flyte Systems, a provider of airport travel information displays and digital signage content for the hospitality industry, announced that Kokua Hospitality, LLC of Chicago inked an agreement to install its FlyteBoard real-time airline flight information displays, boarding pass printing kiosks and FlyteChannel in-room television feeds at five properties. Kokua said it plans to rollout Flyte products in other hotels in the future.
"The decision to install all three Flyte products was easy because Flyte Systems' services add considerable value to our properties," said Craig Strickler, Kokua Hospitality LLC's corporate director of transitions and projects. The first Flyte Systems installations will be at Kokua's two Adams Mark properties in Indianapolis, Ind. and Buffalo, NY, followed by its three landmark properties in Chicago: The Allerton Hotel, Chicago City Centre Hotel & Sports Club and the Inn of Chicago.
"Flyte Systems services are a unique amenity that guests do not expect, but really love," Strickler said. "I know from personal experience that waiting out flight delays in the comfort of my hotel is far better than sitting in a plastic chair at the airport. Guests appreciate a high level of service and expect it from properties like ours."
Strickler also said that Flyte was able to customize its products to match his properties' décor.
"We're in the final stages of extensive renovations at several properties and because we want our lobby areas to be seamless, Flyte is customizing its boarding pass kiosks to match the exact color and wood we used. It's that type of attention to detail that matters."
