OpenJaw Technologies & Travel AS has partnered again to deliver a Dynamic Packaging solution to Scandinavian Airlines  in Denmark.  The solution is combining SAS flights with Hotels and Car into single price packages on the www.sas.dk website and is based on OpenJaw’s core travel distribution technology.  OpenJaw’s Internet Booking engine, xRez provides the web reservation capability and middleware platform, xDistributor, is providing the supplier connectivity and business rules logic.

Online Sales Manager Sven-Eric Nilsson says: "SAS Scandinavian Airlines now have a flexible and user-friendly booking engine which fulfills our customers' needs: Fast and convenient booking of flight, hotel and rental car on the same site and in one go. We have great expectations for this solution".

“We are very pleased to continue delivering rugged Dynamic Packaging solutions to the SAS Group, on time and on budget" says Toralf Ekelund, CEO of Travel AS.   “Our partnership with OpenJaw is working very well.”

Commenting on the new development, OpenJaw's SVP of Sales & Marketing, Declan McGuinness said, "We enjoy a very strong working relationship with both Travel & SAS.  The team at Travel understands implicitly their client’s requirements and the Scandinavian market and OpenJaw has the products and expertise to enable Travel’s clients to exploit the opportunities in these markets.  This is the second solution we have delivered to the SAS group in the region”.
