Corporate travel clients of business travel agency, BCD Travel were delayed at airports overseas and in Australia due to the Iceland volcano, which blew a huge ash cloud into the atmosphere and prevented hundreds of flights in and out of Europe.
The world’s third largest business travel company, BCD Travel, kept its clients informed all over the world with emails and text messages regarding flight information.
BCD Travel set up a dedicated online corporate travel information centre at www.netvibes.com/bcdtravel to provide clients with immediate information on their business travel flights.
The site included a map of Europe with every major airport marked, enabling business travellers to click on the relevant airport to access up-to-the minute information on flight delays. A live CNN news feed provided additional information and BCD Travel also emailed its clients direct links to the web news pages of every major airline carrier.
