Galileo UK is introducing Galileo AirText, which delivers up-to-the-minute flight information direct to a traveller’s mobile phone, including check-in, boarding, final call and real-time updates on delays and cancellations. The system is targeted at all business and leisure travel agents who book flights for their corporate and leisure customers, providing commission opportunities for the agent and useful, relevant content to the traveller.

Galileo AirText allows agents’ customers and their nominated friends and relatives to receive updated flight information on their phones, delivered via mobile channels such as SMS. The service can also be ‘white labelled’ so that Galileo agents will be able to individually brand information messages and all visual elements of the service according to their specifications. 

“The customised service we have developed with Airtext Ltd has been based on feedback from our agents,” says Patrick Lukan, Country Manager, Galileo UK. “We’re really delighted with the end result and are confident it will be a valuable tool.”

Yannis Loucopoulos, Sales Director at AirText agrees. “We wanted to build a service that would fit seamlessly into existing sales processes and that would be flexible enough to adapt to the most specific agent requirement - we are confident that Galileo AirText answers that brief.”

Galileo AirText benefits both agent and customer - for the leisure agency or travel management company (TMC) it is a chance to improve revenue generation, to keep passengers better informed and to expand their portfolio of client services, all with great ease of set-up and use. For the traveller, it means access to accurate, live mobile flight status information, available anywhere at anytime, replacing slow, inaccurate and sometimes costly services such as airport premium rate lines.
Galileo was nominated for World’s Leading CRS/ GDS at this year’s World Travel Awards
