Media Corp Launches US Flight Search Website ww...
Media Corporation PLC
Fast growing internet advertising group Media Corporation plc ('Media Corp' or
the 'Group') announces today that it is launching its leading flight comparison
website flightcomparison.co.uk into the United States market under the URL
www.flightcomparison.com.
Media Corp, has recently acquired a leading UK based flight comparison site
www.flightcomparison.co.uk to add to its growing stable of leading vertical
focused portals, including www.creditcardexpert.co.uk and www.onthebox.com.
CEO Justin Drummond said: 'Since we brought flightcomparison.co.uk on board into
our publishing division, we have been looking at how to expand the business and
maximize its assets by applying our proprietary technology and getting our
editorial team to sharpen some of the content and product offering'
'Consumers have made flight comparison a leading flight portal in the UK. We're
confident its appeal, functionality, combined with our back-end technology and
our considerable experience will make www.flightcomparison.com a success in the
US too'.
'The site is quick and easy to navigate and search', Mr Drummond said. 'At the
back end we can offer airlines and advertisers a targeted group of potential
customers'.
Flight Comparison's proprietary technology includes a live flight search tool
which allows consumers to find the best deals to most major destinations.
The fact that Flight Comparison is a vertically focused flight search engine
adds to its credibility among users as it doesn't offer multiple services like
most travel sites. It does not sell air flights itself but allows users to
search all available cheap airfare sites and enable them to get the best deal.
It also offers a host of other services, including last minute deals, charter
flights and flight information. All these services will be available on the US
site too.
Flight Comparison has also just launched a blog blog.flightcomparison.co.uk that
keeps travelers in touch with all the latest news on cheap flights around the
world.
'The blog is another service helping our visitors to keep up to date with what's
going on in the economy flights space and broadens our content base further' Mr
Drummond said.
