GERMANY. Fraport has launched the FRA Airport App, designed for passengers, visitors and meeters and greeters at the German hub.
Since its activation on 8 August, the FRA Airport App has been downloaded more than 17,000 times. It is currently one of the most popular free applications offered via the Apple Store and now ranks fifth among the country’s top apps in the “˜travel’ category.
Versions for Android and Web application (Web App) are expected to be available in the autumn.
The range of information includes: getting to the airport, parking recommendations, shops and restaurants, other service facilities, orientation via detailed maps, as well as current flight data. Via “˜push-notification’ passengers and their meeters and greeters can also receive information automatically about any changes regarding their flight.
Frequent travellers can customize the FRA Airport App by creating personal lists to note points of interest at Frankfurt Airport (such as shops and services) as well as individual flight connections.
The “˜Near Me’ function tells travellers which facilities are located in their immediate area and how to get to them. More features are being planned and will be released soon.
Fraport said: “Implementation of the FRA Airport App is an important initiative under Fraport’s comprehensive “˜Great to Have You Here’ quality service programme, which was launched last December. The goal of this programme is to raise service levels and the quality of stay continuously, as well as to improve the travel comfort of passengers while streamlining processes. Thus, the FRA Airport App will contribute significantly to this goal by serving as a virtual host to guests using Frankfurt Airport.”
