SkyScanner in European expansion
Online flight comparison search engine SkyScanner is launching French, German and Spanish language sites.
The company aims to have 14 European language sites operating by the end of the year, with Italy next in line.
It also plans to offer a worldwide service providing a comprehensive “one-stop-shop” for finding cheap flights on the internet.
The move onto the Continent comes two years after the online travel information firm was established.
Director and co-founder Barry Smith said: “This new move into Europe with full French, German and Spanish language versions of SkyScanner is just the start for us in 2005.
“The site is developing all the time and has proved to be an extremely popular resource in the UK, aiding those searchers who look for ‘pure’ information when looking for flights online.
“Considering the growth in european demand for finding flights online, we will be looking to expand further with Italy on the horizon – we aim to have 14 European language sites up and running by the end of 2005.”
