Brussels, 23 April 2004 : After a comprehensive selection process, SN
Brussels Airlines has selected Emakina to redesign SN Brussels
Airlines B2C portal www.flySN.com. This new version of flySN.com
should be the logical first choice for customers seeking authoritive information relating to SN Brussels Airlines and the fastest and most convenient way to book and ultimately be serviced in a straightforward and easily navigable website that reflects SN Brussels Airlines’ positioning “passionate about you”.

Philip Saunders, Executive VP Commercial, SN Brussels Airlines said:
“we are aiming to become an airline leader in online distribution, and
through assessing who was available and most capable in the marketplace, we found in Emakina a partner with a global approach in turning traditional
business into successful e-business operations and are delighted to
have appointed Emakina as our Business Partner for the next 3 years”
.

Denis Steisel, Partner – Executive Manager Emakina added : “Emakina
received the ‘Mission Possible’ for SN Brussels Airlines to redesign
the site, facilitate the integration of a Tridion CMS platform and
subsequently construct 28 specialized Web sites. This mission was
devised to drive the increase of online ticket sales to position SNBA
as a major ecommerce player in its sector”
.

Bruno Brusselmans, Manager e-Business, SN Brussels Airlines added : “we look forward to further deploy the renewed flySN.com later this year and we are very excited about the opportunities and efficiencies we are creating with Emakina”.
