2e Systems GmbH has founded a subsidiary in Australia called 2e Systems Pty Ltd. The company will officially commence operation in June 2014.
The founding of this new subsidiary compliments the existing group of 2e companies, meaning that 2e is now represented in 4 countries: Germany, UK, Croatia and Australia.
2e recently supported Austrian Airlines in launching a new passenger notifications platform. Called yourUpdate, the solution notifies passengers of flight delays as well as cancellations via E-mail or SMS.
In the event of delays of 30 minutes or more, or if a flight has to be cancelled, customers will automatically be sent an SMS or E-mail informing them of the current flight status and contact details for rebooking, without the need to register.
Air Baltic has recently migrated their online car provider to SIXT. In addition to stand-alone car-rental reservations, it is as well fully integrated into the online booking process, allowing users a seamless and comprehensive online booking experience. Car rental reservations is available at over 250 worldwide destinations. Customers can also book insurance, hotels, extra baggage, special meals as well as a host of other ancillary items on the site. For more information please visit www.airbaltic.com.
The cost of obtaining airline fares and tax information from host Global Distribution Systems (GDS) has risen exponentially over the past few years due largely to increased window shopping, price comparison and robotic web site scraping activities. Airlines have realized that this has become a significant part of the cost of running their online booking platform. Carriers have sought alternate means to obtain this data and at the same time continue to provide a dynamic online booking engine.
