UK. Onboard Retail Solutions (Onboard) has announced that it is to begin supplying its retail technology to Spanish carrier Spanair, following an agreement between the airline and specialist catering company Newrest.
Newrest, with which Onboard has a partnership, recently signed a total concession contract with Spanair to supply both retail and F&B services.
As part of the contract, Onboard will provide support and maintenance services from its Bristol headquarters for both software and hardware used by Spanair.
In addition, Spanair will be able to access data via around the clock internet access to the Bristol DataCenter, said the group.
Newrest (via its Gusto+ and Venta a Bordo divisions) and Onboard have operated a similar system for some years with Air Europa and both parties are confident that the Spanair contract will prove effective and lucrative for the airline.
Onboard Retail Solutions CEO Thomas Drohan said: "We have an excellent working relationship with Newrest and are delighted to have further expanded Onboard’s business with this Spanair contract. We’re confident that the airline will benefit significantly in terms of improved ancillary revenue as a result."
Newrest Purchasing Director Vicente Sarañana added: "Based on our excellent experience with Onboard Retail Solutions’ systems used by Air Europa, the company was a natural choice for the Spanair contract."
