New Premium Transatlantic Airline from British Airways to Use Radixx Air Enterprise Edition
ORLANDO, Fla. April 15, 2008– Open Skies, a new airline from British Airways, has selected Radixx International, Inc. to provide the premium airline with next-generation reservation and airline management systems, Radixx announced today. OpenSkies will utilize the Radixx Air Enterprise Edition, which will give passengers the flexibility to book tickets online, by phone or through a travel agent - OpenSkies will be listed on the global distribution systems (GDS) with a British Airways code.
“We’re doing something for OpenSkies that has never been done before in the airline industry,” said Ron Peri, CEO of Radixx International. “We’ve worked to develop a hybrid reservations system that allows OpenSkies to distribute directly via its website and call center with a ticket-less system, but also through travel agents via the British Airways codeshare and using traditional travel agency fulfilment processes. We’re thrilled to equip OpenSkies with this cutting-edge technology.”
Pending regulatory approval Open Skies aims to fly retrofitted Boeing 757s with a three class, 82-seat configuration. OpenSkies, which expects to launch this summer, will offer guests superior service, competitive fares and exceptional value. ”As we work to launch OpenSkies, it has been a pleasure working with an enthusiastic company like Radixx, that shares our vision of creating the best customer experience possible,” said Dale Moss, Managing Director of OpenSkies. “Radixx is delivering an innovative service which will integrate traditional and non-traditional methods of distribution. We believe travellers throughout the world will embrace this model and benefit from it.” For more information about OpenSkies, visit http://flyopenskies.com/.
