Quotes

We didn’t want to make just another app or launch one just for the sake of it. Just as we have assisted on the airport’s Twitter stream, it has to have a purpose. With live flight information and way finding available, we feel we’ve achieved that. The next step is to see if passengers can begin to use the app to book those services they want from the airport.

Rhodri Edwards, Client Services Manager for KMP Digitata

Having recently launched our travel extra brand, The Travel Extras Store, we wanted to continue to develop all of our supporting applications around it and that will continue with the iPhone app. We want to give our customers the services they require in a way that suits them. Digital and web technology is an area of increasing interest for us across all of our airports and we want to stay ahead of the curve.

Andrew Harrison, Commercial Director for Manchester Airport
