Dublin Airport and Skyscanner enter unique data partnership
John Hurley, Dublin Airport’s Head of Channel and Partner Marketing: “We have worked closely with Skyscanner to develop a one-stop-shop on our Dublin Airport App and dublinairport.com for passengers who are looking for great destinations and travel options at excellent fares.”
Dublin Airport has teamed up with Skyscanner to provide a suite of data technology services. Skyscanner will provide Dublin Airport with a big dataset through its Travel Insight tool, which taps into the global search data from its 50 million monthly visitors.
This will give the airport a unique insight into passengers’ planning and search preferences, helping further enhance its status as one of Europe’s most prominent points for passenger connections.
Dublin Airport will also host Skyscanner’s flight search technology on its app, giving passengers the ability to search and book with airlines operating from hub. Initially available to Dublin Airport’s mobile app users, the bespoke search tool will also be rolled out to desktop users.
We are delighted to partner with Skyscanner using its Travel Insight tool so we can deliver a better product and service to our customers,” says John Hurley, Dublin Airport’s Head of Channel and Partner Marketing. “We have worked closely with Skyscanner to develop a one-stop-shop on our Dublin Airport App and dublin airport.com for passengers who are looking for great destinations and travel options at excellent fares.
