BRAHM DIGITAL LAUNCHES NEW E-BOOKING SITE FOR ROBIN HOOD AIRPORT DONCASTER SHEFFIELD

www.robinhoodairport.com


Brahm Digital has officially launched the new web site for the UK’s first international airport for 30 years - Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield.

The site’s main objectives are to promote the airport to a wide range of potential customers, act as a central point of information, and allow visitors to book online services.

The site’s Booking Centre enables visitors to arrange flights and holidays via external flight operators and holiday companies, as well as book services such as Airport Car Parking, Foreign Currency, Car Hire and Travel Insurance.

The comprehensive information available at www.robinhoodairport.com includes:

• A flight timetable – including live feeds of the departure and arrivals board.
• Latest airport news
• Airport facilities, site maps and airport directions
• Local Regional Tourist Information
• Business sections including Trade Communications, Media Centre and Retail Opportunities.

Other areas of interest include a section outlining the rich history of the airport (built on the site of the former RAF Finningley airbase), information about the airport’s owner Peel Airports Limited, and Robin Hood Airport job vacancies.

Visitors can subscribe to the passenger or business e-newsletters on the site and receive all the latest up-to-date developments from Robin Hood Airport straight to their in-box. This will include announcements of additional tour operators and flight destinations as well as new terminal retail opportunities and facilities.

Thea Mallett, Design and Digital Associate Director at Brahm says,

“The opening of the first new UK airport in 30 years is a monumental occasion and Brahm Digital wanted to produce a web site that lived up to this significance. Adopting Best Practice guidelines and thorough research of the airline sector has enabled us to produce a smooth, one-stop user experience that reflects the ethos of the new airport itself.”

Neil Pakey, Commercial Director at Peel Airports Limited said,

“Robin Hood Airport was built very much with our customer’s needs in mind and we required a web site that had this same commitment to the visitor. Our overall objective for passengers is to make their whole travelling experience as easy as possible - hence the online booking centre. It means that everything from car parking to currency can be booked in advance. Usability and accessibility were also a priority and Brahm Digital’s attention to detail has set this site apart from existing airport web sites.”

The web site for Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield meets and exceeds the WAI A & AA accessibility guidelines.

The first flights take off from Robin Hood Airport on April 28th and with thousands of flights already booked – this proves the popularity of the UK’s newest airport.
