Flybe to offer online gaming
Budget airline Flybe is to offer the option for would-be travellers to engage in online gaming via its website. An option to play online games will be added to the Flybe website, with classics including blackjack, bingo, roulette and keno all to be enjoyed by potential customers browsing for flights. Games on offer are provided by charitable operator PAF which claims the games are user friendly, in that they do not need software downloads, and the operator plans to donate 20 per cent to the Make-A-Wish foundation, its chosen charity.
Last year saw arch-rival Ryanair partner with an online bingo website to allow fans of the low cost Irish airline to enjoy games in cyber space. Head of sales at Flybe Stephen Hobday, said: “Flybe’s web services are the new way of selling Flybe flights.
“We’re determined to offer the best distribution to ease the booking process for our Partners and expect web services to become one of the distribution service of choice as more and more airlines following Flybe’s lead.”
