The founders of travel insurance start-up Flightsurance, Dr. Jens Ortgiese and Zoltan Kastner, have sold their shares to 2e Systems, making 2e Systems the largest shareholder in the company.
On October 26th 2012, 2e Systems received notification that JetBlue Airways were preparing for potential Irregular Operations due to a large storm that was making its way up the East coast of the U.S., later called Sandy. This storm was the first since the implementation of the latest upgrade to the eeCrewConnect platform. The customer, JetBlue, is a major US carrier with over 180 aircraft, 75 international destinations and over 15,000 inflight crew members. For a carrier of this size, it is a logistical challenge to contact each and every crew member related to schedule changes, cancellation and crew member repositioning.
Helvetic Airways has boosted its operational efficiency with a new online check-in solution, eeDepart. The system went online on the 8th of August 2012. The carrier now provides Helvetic passengers the ability to check-in online prior to departure.
2e Systems' multi-host DCS check-in solution will communicate with departure control systems AxsControl and Codeco in the Airline's operated airports of Zurich, Bern, Geneva, Rostock, Cardiff and Bristol.
Austrian Airlines recently enhanced its offering for Economy Class passengers by providing the option to order freshly prepared three-course meals from DO & CO, in addition to the free snacks and meals which are currently offered. The new service can be preordered starting at a charge of €15 per person and is available on most European and long-haul flights.
Condor and 2e Systems are pleased to announce a new service feature enhancement to the online check-in services offered by the carrier.
Effective the upcoming winter schedule, Condor passengers will be able to check-in online through to their final destination. The service allows for a more seamless check-in process for customers with connection flights between Condor and is available up to 30 hours prior scheduled departure time.
