Airlines are now tweeting and this makes a lot of sense. Now persons can
follow exactly where a particular plane is at any particular time.
The questions which might be asked by commuters of planes as to will my flight
be on time, or will it be late is now something of the past, at least for those
airlines who have joined the tweeting world.
Lufthansa airlines has set up a new service named MySkyStatus that automatically
posts the current position of your flight to Twitter or Facebook.
Will Caribbean airlines such as Caribbean-Airlines, and LIAT be following suite
in allowing its passengers to follow its departure and arrival times on the
internet for each aircraft?
This idea of airlines tweeting the locations of their aircrafts has been touted
by many as a great one, and it can decrease the stress encountered at airports
by family members and friends, who are usually posted there, reading from
monitors the expected arrival times of aircraft which aren't always accurate.
It is with amazement one watches on to see these great iron birds are now
themselves tweeting.
All of this is coming on the heels of many believing that twitter is losing its
appeal.
