Solomon Airlines confirmed today that it’s new Website and booking Web-engine will be launched today, Friday 3rd April, and will be available to the general public from Monday 6th April.
The airline said “the new website – flysolomons.com is a standalone product and will cater for our whole inventory of information and whilst this has been tailored as a ‘user friendly’ product, it is a work in progress and will continue to develop until we get it right”.
Previously, Solomon Airlines were hosted as solair.com.sb and then further to solomonairlines.com.au . This will slowly be removed in total from access so as ‘pointers’ in the interim will show clients the correct Web URL to point to the new Website.
“This website” the airline continued, “will also host our new Booking Web-engine which will give clients the easy access of making ON-LINE BOOKINGS on the flysolomons website .
“This project has taken months of preparatory work including re-designing the website; and then locating a suitable portal to ensure our booking engine integrates with our current reservations system, thereby having a seamless transfer of information regarding what seats and or airfares are sold from the inventory.”
“The new website and web-engine will add value to our current array of products including booking and paying by credit cards and this can be applied for both International seats to/from Brisbane as well as our Intra-Regional routes and furthermore, Domestic reservations are also possible through our new system ONLINE .” The airline continued.
The airline indicated that a small Launching ceremony will be held on Friday afternoon after some final testing and the new system will then be available from Monday 6th April to the general public; and can be accessed from anywhere around the world giving further priority to marketing Solomon Airlines and Solomon Islands throughout the world.
