All-business class carrier Silverjet today (7 April) launched a mobile website which means travellers can book flights, see schedules, select seats and choose meals from their telephones.
Developed by Mobile Travel Technologies, the airline says ”Silverjet Mobile” is accessed by entering the usual website address - www.flysilverjet.com - into their mobile phone browser. Customers in the UK can also text ”Silverjet” to 60767 to receive a link via SMS.
The technology will recognise a wide range of mobile devices, says the airline, and optimise the display and adapt functionality accordingly.
”The Silverjet experience was conceived to deliver convenience at all points of the journey and the launch of Silverjet Mobile is a response to a clear demand for mobile travel services,” said Silverjet IT director, George Henderson.
”This innovative service will help our customers make and manage their bookings at times to suit their increasingly hectic schedules.”
Recent research by the carrier revealed that more than a third (36%) of business travellers now regularly use mobile internet services for work, with nearly half (47%) requesting the benefits mobile technology can now offer airline passengers.
Various airlines have introduced similar mobile services, including American, Continental and Air Asia.
