Unaira enhances Finnair’s online offerings with the Destination Services Platform

September 2008

Unaira’s unique Destination Services Platform (DSP) consolidates activities, city tours, transfers, airport lounge passes and event tickets through a “one-stop shop” dynamic booking platform. As such, DSP provides an auxiliary revenue source to partners like Finnair, a leading airline between Europe and Asia.

The platform, a result of Unaira’s collaboration with Amadeus (a global provider of technology solutions to the travel and tourism industry), offers Finnair.com customers convenient access to the largest available database of destination services and experiences for both leisure and business travel. More than 10,000 products are now bookable directly from the Finnar.com site, and the DSP’s user-friendly ability to showcase only products relevant to a user’s destination and dates of travel is an innovation that separates Unaira from industry competitors.

“We are very proud to provide our customers personalised offers and services across all of our international destinations. By pre-booking transfers, tours and tickets through the Destination Services Platform, our customers get a better experience once at their destination. While adding an ancillary revenue opportunity to Finnair, we also want to improve our customer service and enhance our customers’ travel experiences. Working together with Unaira and Amadeus was an obvious choice since it meant that we only had to integrate one platform to access worldwide content. In the coming weeks we are planning to further improve integration by also offering navigation in Finnish and Swedish,” says Mikko Tuomainen, Finnair Sales Director.

Besides greater convenience, Finnair can now offer customers the best-priced travel services, activities and events, not to mention Unaira’s “Low Price Guarantee” on tour and activity products sourced from only the most reputable travel service providers, like Gray Line, Viator, Encore Tickets, Holiday Taxis, Lounge Pass and many more.
