This may have already been posted 25 Jun 2007: World’s first PRE-BOOKABLE in-flight entertainment ...now available online from MEZZO ... MEZZO, the Rolls-Royce plc backed Portable IFE Specialist, announced the successful introduction of online pre-booking for its RETAIL IFE services now operating on UK partner airlines Jet2.com and Flyglobespan. The two launch websites are the first step on what MEZZO considers to be one of its critical development paths – online consumer presence. Passengers can now pre-book the latest MEZZO in-flight entertainment at either http://jet2.mezzo.aero or http://flyglobespan.mezzo.aero. The sites are managed exclusively by MEZZO and are co-branded to reinforce the close collaboration between the airline partners and the MEZZO brand. Online orders have already surpassed internal launch expectations, spurring the company to accelerate new routes and further investment in the sites’ capability. Introducing online ordering has huge benefits to passengers, the airline and MEZZO. “With virtually everyone booking flights on the internet, providing the ability for our customers to pre-book MEZZO online was always essential. Our web presence is just another way MEZZO can get closer to customers and further develop our insight into what makes a great IFE service. With the foresight of advanced orders, we can also start to adapt the number of players per sector and hence improve asset utilisation rates and reduce unnecessary weight, thus making our own small but important contribution towards reducing our airline partners’ carbon footprints,” comments Executive Director Martin Cunnison.
