OpenSkies, 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
fulfillment 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."
