DUBLIN, Ireland and WASHINGTON, April 18 /PRNewswire/ --
- International Travelers Now Have Flight Data in Their Hands
To meet the needs of its millions of international passengers,
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) -- the Scandinavian carrier -- has continued with
its tradition of innovation in air travel by launching SAS.mobi, the first
.mobi site from a major airline.
SAS.mobi is the mobile version of the airline's web site and offers a
host of features, including check in, time tables, flight status and
EuroBonus, the SAS frequent flyer program.
"SAS.mobi is another way for us to communicate with our passengers," said
Morgan Svensson, Manager IT Solutions at SAS Business Opportunities. "We
understand that business and leisure travelers need access to the most
up-to-date information while they're on the go. At SAS.mobi, passengers can
check on timetables and promotional offers as well as get updates on flight
status, news and weather around the world."
Neil Edwards, CEO of dotMobi added, "SAS has a long history of delivering
leading-edge services to their loyal base of travelers and SAS.mobi proves
that they're once again leading the way by providing an innovative web site
designed for access when their passengers need information on the go."
The SAS.mobi site was created by Swedish mobile portal developers, Adimo
(http://adimo.mobi), a company that has highlighted what can be achieved with
mobile sites by creating interesting, innovative content and business models
using the .mobi domain and its standards.
"We are proud to work with SAS, one of Sweden's most well known companies
and a company with demands for high quality. Since travelers by definition
are mobile, the SAS mobile portal is a perfect communication channel for the
airline. The flexibility of the .mobi-compliant Adimo development platform
allows us to quickly and easily create and develop compelling content for the
mobile Internet," said Anna Caracolias, CEO, Adimo.
