This includes providing passengers with the ability to plan trips, book online, issue e-tickets, make online seat reservations and use self check-in kiosks at the airport.And we are now pleased to offer the latest technology: on board communications services. These include voice communications, Internet and mobile services, enabling our passengers to carry on with their travel planning, as well as to communicate with their colleagues, friends and families, in exactly the same way they can on the ground.”
Majali added, “Being the first airline in the Middle East to provide OnAir’s services underlines the fact that we are always seeking to offer the best customer service to our passengers. 2007 has been a very good year for Royal Jordanian: we became the first Arab carrier to join oneworld, one of the world’s major airline alliances, we won several awards including the Airline Strategy Award in the technology category, and now we are announcing the introduction of this pioneering new service.”
