Developed by Dublin-based specialist Mobile Travel Technologies Ltd., the Aeroexpress rail integration means customers can arrange convenient ground transportation with just a few easy clicks, saving themselves valuable time. S7 is the first airline in Russia to offer mobile booking for rail tickets.

“Airlines are increasingly interested in providing end to end service and mobile provides great opportunities to do that,” said Gerry Samuels, founder and executive director of MTT, Dublin, Ireland. “S7 had an existing relationship with Aeroexpress and wanted to build on that.

“There are no automated kiosks in Domodedovo airport like there are at Heathrow and Paddington, the only option to buy tickets is at a manned counter,” he said. “So the queues can get very very long. Mobile is a great fit”.

Once the Aeroexpress trip has been purchased an electronic ticket including bar code is sent to the customer via SMS and email. A paper ticket is not required to board the train.
