'Food on the Fly' -- Now THAT's a Headline!
Business and vacation travelers in the DC
region now have a unique alternative to airline food. Cardinal
Technologies, Inc. and Sabre Holdings Corporation have launched
Carry-On Cuisine, a new service that enables travelers to order
meals online from restaurants they know and trust and have the food
ready for pick-up prior to boarding their flight.
Cardinal Technologies, Inc., partnered with Sabre to host part
of the site and airport-based dining establishments to offer the
meals. Initially, the service will be offered at Washington, D.C.'s
Reagan National Airport (DCA). During the first quarter of 2003,
the service will expand to airports in Providence (PVD), R.I.,
Newark (EWR), N.J. and to New York City's John F. Kennedy (JFK)
airport. Expansion to all major US airports is expected by
mid-2003.
"Teaming up many excellent airport-based
restaurants and Sabre will enable Carry-On Cuisine to deliver on
its promise of convenience and great food," said Earl M. Furfine,
CEO of Cardinal Technologies. "Everyone has a favorite type of food
-- from salads and soups, to sandwiches and burgers. Now they can
get it fresh and fast, before or after their flight, regardless of
how tight their schedules are."
"Industry analysts from R. W. Mann & Co have recently shared
their opinions publicly that travelers are looking for alternative
sources to purchase carry-on food that is both fresh and reasonably
priced," said Greg Webb, senior vice president of Product
Development for Sabre. "This relationship fosters another
opportunity for Sabre to provide its travel agency customers with a
valuable service that travelers desire."
