Feature · Flight Tracking & Dispatch

No more staff waiting
at empty terminals.

When a flight is delayed by 3 hours, your driver shouldn't be standing at the terminal at the original arrival time. ParkFast monitors every return flight in real time — delays, early arrivals, gate changes — and triggers dispatch at exactly the right moment so your car arrives when the customer does.

Real-time flight ETA for every booking

The moment a booking is confirmed, ParkFast begins monitoring both the outbound and return flights from live aviation data. Your operations board shows current ETAs — not what the booking said two weeks ago, but the actual expected landing time right now.

Delays, diversions, and early arrivals update automatically. Your team sees real information. No more refreshing FlightAware in a browser tab. No more calling customers to ask where they are.

Automatic dispatch on landing

When a return flight touches down, ParkFast triggers the driver dispatch automatically. You configure how far in advance based on your yard's distance from the terminal. Driver gets a push notification — no call required.

Return ETA SMS to customer

The moment dispatch fires, an automated SMS goes to the customer: "Your car is on its way — ETA 15 minutes to T5 arrivals." Fewer inbound calls. Happier customers.

FAQ

Common questions

How does ParkFast track return flights?

ParkFast connects to live aviation data feeds to monitor every return flight associated with an active booking. The system continuously tracks each flight's status — airborne, delayed, landed, diverted — and recalculates the terminal ETA in real time. Your operations board always shows current ETAs, not the scheduled times from the original booking.

What happens when a return flight lands?

When a return flight touches down, ParkFast automatically triggers the driver dispatch. Based on your configured yard-to-terminal distance, the system calculates the optimal dispatch time and assigns a driver with a push notification to their mobile app. The driver receives the vehicle reg, bay location, and terminal destination. Simultaneously, the customer receives an automated SMS confirming their car is on its way.

How does ParkFast handle flight delays?

ParkFast monitors flights continuously. When a delay is detected, the dispatch trigger time is automatically recalculated. Staff no longer need to monitor FlightAware or call customers to check arrival times. The operations board updates in real time so your team always has accurate information without manual checking.

Can ParkFast group multiple return dispatches?

Yes. When multiple return flights are landing within the same 30-minute window, ParkFast groups the dispatches and optimises driver assignments to minimise unnecessary trips between yard and terminal. This reduces driver downtime and cuts fuel costs compared to dispatching each vehicle independently as each flight lands.
