Flybe launches its online gambling service for customers

Customers flying with Flybe can now join the mile high club. The budget airline is providing the gambling service which will rival that of Ryan Air. Last year Ryan Air partnered with UK Bingo giant Jackpot Joy to launch an online bingo site just for Ryan Air.

Flybe have partnered with Finnish gaming operator, PAF Group and will launch in February 2007. Poker and roulette will be among the inline games offered by the service. PAF will provide the licenses and the software and will handle the day to day running of the operation.

The director of marketing at Flybe said of the new service, “it is an example of Flybe's continued efforts to build and improve our customer offering, through innovative partnerships with third parties. 'We are confident that our customers will enjoy and benefit from the offer of e-gaming entertainment via the Flybe website and expect other airlines to follow suit with similar deals.'

The venture into online gaming is just one part of Flybe’s latest product and services. They have already launched Flybe Cruise, to rival that of Easy Cruises and have also gone into flower delivery.
