Airport launches smartphone app
20.11.11
Newcastle Airport has launched a new smartphone app. Previously it offered only basic information such as flight times via a mobile version of its website. Now it has a new, free 'feature-packed app', Graeme Mason, its corporate affairs director, said
Mr Mason said: ‘We are committed to providing its customers with an excellent service. Good communication is an essential part of this and smartphone apps are an extremely effective way of connecting with our passengers.'
‘Our flight times are available on our mobile website as normal, but this new app adds more options – text messages alerting travellers to local travel problems, notices of delays, and information about the airport. This is all available on the return journey as well, making travelling much easier.’
The app, which can be downloaded free, will tell passengers as they drive to the airport if their flight is on time and warn them of any traffic problems. At the airport it provides their flight information, will track delays, record where their car is parked, and provide maps of the terminal with offers from shops in the departure lounge. Then when they reach their destination, the app can show them a weather forecast, travel guide and local events guide.
