UK. Airport app FLIO has added Dixons Travel to its list of partners and revealed other new initiatives as it seeks to expand its global network. The app provides airport information and retail offers, as well as removing the step of entering personal details when accessing free airport Wi-Fi, among other features.
With Dixons Travel FLIO said it can offer travellers new offers across the consumer technology retailer’s 27 stores in 14 UK airports.
When passengers purchase through the FLIO app they can save an additional £10 when they spend £100 or more.
In other news, leading software group SAP has announced a partnership with FLIO for location-based advertising.
SAP XM has chosen FLIO as one of one of its publishers to distribute digital advertising via SAP XM’s next generation integrated media network.
In addition, FLIO now offers an API (application programming interface) that enables partners such as airports, airlines and online travel agencies to include airport information and offers into their own stand-alone technology solutions.
FLIO Founder and CEO Stephan Uhrenbacher said: “Now any travel related online service such as flight booking website can use FLIO content in their mobile or web services and help passengers to get up to date information about 450 airports. A commercial agreement with FLIO is of course necessary to access the API.”
