International Airport, developed in partnership with Page & Moy.
"We are very proud of our newly developed online presence, which will
position us for aggressive growth in today's highly competitive travel
industry," said David Short, director of Page & Moy. "Galileo's technology
and booking information are crucial factors, helping us to provide the best
possible offer for our clients."
"We are delighted that Page & Moy has chosen Galileo to provide the
crucial information enabling the company to take its offerings one step
further," said Pat Minogue, Galileo UK's general manager. "This shows
confidence in Galileo's strategy, products and service, and we look forward to
continue our work with them."
