AUSTRALIA. Brisbane Airport has upgraded its App to feature the Japanese and Korean languages, in addition to English and simplified Chinese.
The latest BNE App (V3.0) provides access to departures and arrivals information, terminal maps and shopping and dining options.
It includes directions to and from the airport and the greater Southeast Queensland region, and information on things to do in Brisbane and elsewhere.
A digital departure card built within the App gives passengers the ability to enter and save personal information onto their mobile devices prior to arrival at the airport.
Travellers with Facebook and Google accounts will be able sign in to personalise their experience at the airport and receive exclusive offers.
A new book section also allows for the easy booking of hotels, rental cars and parking.
Brisbane Airport Corporation General Manager for Strategic Planning and Development Roel Hellemons said: “With Brisbane and Queensland experiencing an ever-growing visitors’ market from Asia, we know the new Japanese and Korean language options, in addition to simplified Chinese, will be very helpful to international travellers.”
“Being able to connect with international visitors via the BNE App before they arrive at the airport can help to reduce levels of anxiety often associated with travelling to a new destination,” he added.
The App is available to download for free on Android and iOS devices.
