FlightStats, a resource for real-time, historical and predictive flight information, has released a set of new information services on its free consumer website, www.flightstats.com to help consumers travel smarter.

The company says these services are “absolutely unique in the world have are rapidly becoming a key dimension of both business and leisure travel planning”.

Sharing the advancements, the company says it has worked upon:

New Airline Ratings - The brand new flight rating by airline feature gives you some overall information about the on-time performance in the last 60 days of any airline, worldwide. The system also shows overall performance on the top 20 routes (based on number of observations) for each airline (or a codeshare partner); New Time of Day Performance Ratings - In addition, the company now offers flight rating by time of day, which shows route level performance information based on the time of day the flight flies. Like the other route application you can also specify a particular airline, says the company.

“With anticipated record demand and fewer flights, travelers cannot afford to take any risks when planning their summer travel,” said Jeff Kennedy, chief executive officer, FlightStats. “Checking a rating on flightstats.com before you buy, will help you avoid flights that put you at risk of costly missed connections and cancellations.”

In addition to these new rating services, the latest upgrades include added functionality to flight notifications that offer most complete worldwide flight coverage and free notification to mobile devices than any other system. The site also offers a growing number of free Google, MSN and Yahoo widgets and web downloads and that make flight status and ratings available through any web site, portal or desktop.
