In the 2015 IATA Global passenger survey 93% of travelers have responded that they want to be provided with real-time and pro-active information about their flight. 79% of global passengers responded that their preferred option to be notified is by e-mail or sms. Complimentary WiFi services at airports are increasingly available throughout the world allowing customers to connect and receive pro-active notifications. Some customers do not have a mobile phone or email and therefore the existing processes of providing updated flight information (e.g. airport information screens, customer service announcements, etc.) remains in place.
