FlightTracker Live Status App
Summary
My company, FlightTracker Live, is developing a mobile application to help travelers and aviation enthusiasts stay informed about real-time flight status with instant updates and comprehensive flight information.
Problem statement
Customers struggle with accessing real-time flight status information quickly and conveniently which causes uncertainty, missed connections, and wasted time at airports.
Solution
A mobile app that provides real-time flight status updates by allowing users to search for flights by flight number, route, or airline and displays current departure/arrival times, gate information, delays, and cancellations. The app integrates with aviation data APIs to deliver live updates and sends push notifications for any status changes to tracked flights. Users can save frequently monitored flights and access offline cached data for recently viewed flight information.
Growth metric
The key metric to focus on is Daily Active Users (DAU). To scale this metric to affect 1 million people, the company should integrate with major airline APIs to provide comprehensive real-time flight data across all carriers and implement push notifications for flight delays, gate changes, and boarding updates to create a sticky daily habit among frequent travelers.
