Waiting in airports is a drain on time and money that could be saved by getting information about flight delays as they occur. The service is offered by AirText, a company that provides SMS updates on arrival and departure details of specified flights. The service can be used by busy executives wanting to avoid lingering for a delayed flight or by those meeting friends or associates off a flight.

Guy Cotton created the system. He said: "AirText is designed for people who hate waiting around spending unnecessarily on overpriced refreshments and extortionate parking fees. It is also perfect for the business traveller on a tight schedule."
