"Continuous online business optimization is fundamental to the growth and success of an airline," adds Neil Weston, senior vice president and general manager of Omniture EMEA. "For example, airlines can measure visitor response to marketing campaigns during peak travel seasons and create promotions based on customer activity. They can also determine the most effective site navigation to make sure customers easily find the information they seek, or monitor online bookings to ensure each step of the process is clear and hassle-free."
