SkyTeam has officially launched an innovative new mobile offering to all passengers traveling with any of its thirteen member airlines.
The SkyTeam iPhone App contains a variety of highly useful features for today’s traveler, including worldwide airline flight schedules, flight status, weather information with seven-day forecasts, notifications to users of updates and changes, an airport locator and important contact phone numbers. The eSkyGuide also provides the ability to look up flight schedules in Flight Mode when internet access is disabled.
“The SkyTeam App confirms SkyTeam’s ongoing commitment to accelerating product and service developments to meet our global travelers’ need for seamless travel”, says Mauro Oretti, SkyTeam’s Vice President Sales and Marketing. “It helps our customers get to where they need to be by providing useful and updated travel information from our members.”
The SkyTeam app for the iPhone and iPad is available for free on the iTunes App Store. Blackberry and Android users will have access to the App within the next two months.
Korean Air launches its own Android Application service from July 29 to users worldwide. The Korean Air Android Application will allow the traveling public to verify and search up-to-the minute flight and airline information with just one touch, similar to the Korean Air iPhone Application launched in May.
Services available through this application, like the iPhone, include flight status check, schedules and availability check, current reservation information, ticket fares and SKYPASS mileage records.
Plus, Korean Air has added a special menu that links directly to the Korean Air travel site (travel.koreanair.com). The site contains many useful travel information including Korean Air’s TV ad for Europe, “Listen to Eastern Europe”, which is a sound tour guide for famous Eastern Europe tour destinations.
To enjoy this privileged service, customers can simply download the free application from the Android market. This application is available in multiple languages including Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese for users all around the world.
With the increasing number of worldwide smartphone users, Korean Air will continuously upgrade its smartphone application services through supplementing additional functions such as seat reservations and pre-seat assigning to increase passenger’s comfort.
Korean Air’s iPhone Application which was launched in May 17 has been downloaded by more than 120,000 users worldwide.
