WinIT creates mobile site for Air Arabia

WinIT Software, a Hyderabad-based mobile application strategy and development company, has created a new mobile website for West Asian low-cost carrier Air Arabia. The airline's customers can now access the mobile website from their smartphones from anywhere in the world, purchase air tickets, check and alter reservations and pre-book check-in baggage.

“The entire focus was to create a new mobile website, which gives the user an airline counter on one’s phone,” Prakash Sreewastav, chief executive officer of WinIT, said in a release on Tuesday.

The new mobile site, which is currently available in English and Arabic languages, also allows passengers to book their meals in advance through the online menu with over 50 items to choose from.

In the last four years, WinIT has developed over 300 custom-made mobile apps for various domestic and global corporations across verticals on software development kits of iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows. Currently, around 30 per cent of the closely-held company's clients are Indian firms, Sreewastav had earlier told Business Standard.

A Forrester Research report estimates that enterprise business opportunities for apps will grow vastly over the next four years with corporations spending up to $17 billion in creating apps for their products by working with third-party services and companies that manage these apps.
