Athens International Airport official web page is “on air”, offering users a modern and friendly tool, and addressing their personal needs.
Far from traditional, old-fashioned designs, the new aia.gr, with its minimal design and lean architecture, catches the modern spirit for mobility, interaction, and quick information. According to official data, every day, approximately 9,500 absolute unique visitors click in the Athens airport official web page.
Some of the new characteristics and innovative applications that can be found in the new site, are:
- A time lapse video in the intro and home page, offers a unique welcome to the site visitor, with moments and images from the airport life as well as the many “faces” of the city of Athens, introducing at the same time the operational environment of the new aia.gr.
- “responsive design”: The latest trend in web sites’ design, renders aia.gr automatically adaptable to variable screen resolution on the latest web browsers.
- “flight tracker”: The real-time status of the user’s flight can be found at all times on top of every page.
- Traffic feed: Provides real-time traffic feed, regarding access to/from the airport, presented both in text & map format.
- Brief airport guide available in 7 more languages besides Greek and English (German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Arabic).
- “e-parking” application, allowing travelers / visitors to pre-book spaces in AIA’s parking lots.
- “traveler logbook”: in the era of social networking, visitors of aia.gr now have their own room where they can upload and share their experience during their visit in Greece!
Plane spotting: in the multimedia gallery, site users can enjoy photos of various aircraft types!
In addition, in the near future, the ATH Airport application will be redesigned for iPhone, Android & Windows, while, also coming up, is the new interactive airport map in HTML5, compatible with all iOS based devices.
Furthermore, a new significant feature is the user’s scope that changed from the corporate perspective of the previous site to the traveller / visitor perspective in the new one.
Always at the edge of technology and design, we aim to keep the new airport site constantly upgraded with advanced tools and new material, offering a friendly communication and information tool at the hands of every user.
