French airports partner with OAG timetables

Friday, 14 Mar, 2002 0

Passengers at three of France’s top 10 airports will now be able to access on-line timetables through a partnership agreement between the airports and OAG data.

Passengers accessing online airport information for Lyon, Nantes and Strasbourg airports will now be able to acess all weekly inbound and outbound scheduled flights, holiday charters, individual flight details and airport maps.

The service will also construct up to 50 connections through other airports, presenting the travel options in priority of speed and convenience. The results page shows all three types of flights at the same time – schedules, charter and connections.

OAG has worked with each airport to incorporate the advanced facilities, while simultaneously feeding back valuable statistics to the airports. Commenting on the project implementation, Lynne Fraser, Publisher of OAG data said: “The airports had defined exactly what they wanted, and we worked with them to deliver it. Their sophisticated needs followed intensive research among customers, and real forward planning internally”.

The move was also a departure from the airports’ previous approach to the solution, explained Bernard Chaffange, Director of Lyon Airport. He said: “In appointing OAG, they abandoned their previous approach of separate internet designer and a data supplier, as OAG could offer a seamless, one-stop solution.

“Web timetables are vital to help us market the airports to our customers, the airlines. Our site already attracts around 11,000 users a month with an average of 140,000 pages viewed per month and the timetables are a vital part of this.

“By providing the ultimate up-to-date service on the web, we can ensure satisfied loyal, passengers, and know that the moment an airline changes its schedule, passengers can see the changes and don’t arrive for flights that don’t exist.”
