API Economist: FlightLookup has been delivering travel data to mobile devices long before the arrival of smartphones. When did you get started?

Rory Veevers-Carter: We have been serving the needs of the airline data industry since 1996. We started out taking airline data and built a dynamic routing engine and turned it into Windows flight schedule lookup products. We've expanded that core based technology to deliver it to mobile phones, originally to the Palm VII. Our flight schedule and our flight status applications originally launched when the Palm 7 came out. We've been in the value added data delivery space for travel information for a very long time.
