Air France and KLM are to jointly launch bluenity.com, described as the first social network website for all air travellers.

As per the information available, the site will allow customers of both the airlines to make their flight schedule public and to get an update from other travellers about their flight arrangements. This means that travellers can meet online before they travel to arrange to share a taxi, for example, or to meet up in a lounge.

"The reservation system operated by Air France and KLM is now on a par with the technology and functionalities offered by the web community. This is a response to those customers who would like to be proactive on their trip, whether they are travelling for professional or leisure purposes. From 7 November onwards, travellers and especially the 75 million customers who choose our two airlines every year, will be able, by using Bluenity, to meet before, during and after their flight," said Patrick Roux, SVP – marketing, Air France KLM.

Available in three languages (French, English and Dutch), Bluenity is free of charge.

Bluenity was designed in partnership with Tripnity.
