Another instance of information value-add (IVA) through aggregation: 

You remember that great line in the movie “Dr. Strangelove,” where the war-mongering Gen. Buck Turgidson begs the president not to allow the Soviet ambassador into the war room as nuclear Armageddon looms: “He’ll see everything. He’ll see the Big Board!”

Well, Flightstats.com lets you see the Big Board. “You have the ability to raise the veil,” Ms. McLaughlin said.

Essentially, every airport arrival and departures board is available in real time. (There is no fee.). There is also a wealth of historical and predictive data showing, say, what conditions are likely to be at any airport in the next 10 days. There are links that send alerts to travelers three hours before a flight time. Corporate travel managers can use one of the site’s features to monitor, in real time, the air travel status of employees on the road.
