E-mail alerts are available worldwide, but at present, requests for alerts via mobile phones and message pagers can be made only by the public in Singapore. SIA will progressively extend this service to other countries. SIA Mobile Services is more than a messaging service. There is also a KrisFlyer redemption calculator that can display the mileage required for free travel awards. Mr. Yap Kim Wah, SIA's Senior Vice President Marketing Services, said the new services are targeted at customers who are on the move.
People today lead very busy lives, and time is at a premium.
Singapore Airlines is using the latest technology to help our customers save time by obtaining information more quickly and conveniently. Mobile subscribers in Singapore can also access SIA's services via its e-ideas WAP portal. SIA will progressively make the WAP services available via other WAP portals in Singapore and other selected countries. SIA Mobile Services forms part of this aim. All of this will be available in the SIA 'cyber-cabin' of the future.
