Datalex expects strong performance

Travel software company Datalex expects its 2012 performance to be in line with its objectives, despite the economic challenges facing its customers.

In an interim manager statement issued yesterday, the Irish-owned company said its financial position at Oct 31 was consistent with its guidance for the full year, and that it continues to grow in line with market expectations. The company also has a number of projects in the pipeline.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Our current customers continue to use technical data packages to drive revenue and enhance their customer’s experience, including Air China, which is driving significant growth in its online penetration, and Philippine Airlines, which is growing its business and brand at home and abroad.

“In October, our platform went live with SITA at two carriers; a major airline in Asia, and one in Europe. Our new business pipeline is strong and growing, buoyed by the programme of 2012 go lives at new customers.”

Also in October, Datalex reached agreement with a European carrier for the deployment of its full e-commerce platform. It was also selected as the preferred supplier to an Australasian carrier for merchandising.
