Why airports are the next great market for app developers
Skift Take
According to the FlightView poll, most travelers still aren't happy with the smartphone tools available for navigating airports and airlines. Highest on the wish list: Apps that let you take actions to improve your current situation -- seating, rebooking, and more.
People may go to the airport to get taken up to the skies. However, according to a recent survey, most of them have their heads down grimacing into their smartphones for information that will keep them better prepared.
FlightView, a Boston-based company which makes its own air travel apps for a variety of platforms, polled more than 2,600 travelers; the results indicate there may be considerable opportunities for other developers to enter the sector.
