Why airline websites need ongoing care
At airlines, a highly regulated operation meets a website that has to build trust: fleet, routes, fare conditions, passenger rights, crew applications. When a disruption is added, such as a delay, strike or bad weather, traffic rises abruptly, and that is exactly when the site has to stay up.
Security
Airline brands are frequently abused for phishing and fake prize draws. A firewall, login protection, two-factor authentication and malware scans secure your presence.
Booking entry point & interfaces
The booking form, check-in link and status lookup usually depend on external systems. After every update, we check that the handover works cleanly.
Load peaks during disruptions
During delays and cancellations, everyone searches at the same time. Caching, image optimisation and a clean server configuration keep the site available even under load.
Passenger rights & mandatory information
Conditions of carriage, passenger rights and baggage rules are often available as PDFs. We check links, file sizes and accessibility so that nothing leads nowhere.
Crew & technical recruiting
The careers portal is the central channel for pilots, cabin crew and technical staff. We regularly test application forms and file uploads for deliverability.
Performance & multilingualism
Airline sites are usually multilingual. We check load times, language switching and hreflang markup so that every language version is indexed cleanly.
Round-the-clock monitoring
Flight operations don't keep office hours. Our monitoring reports outages automatically, including at night, at weekends and on public holidays.
Dedicated contact
Your communications department can reach us directly. We know your setup, coordinate maintenance windows and document every intervention.
Industry knowledge
What requirements apply to an airline's website?
For airlines, the website is a central sales and service channel. Since 28 June 2025, websites, apps, electronic tickets and travel information in passenger air transport must be accessible under the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG). At the same time, the site has to cope with high traffic during disruptions and reliably provide information on passenger rights.
Legal framework for airlines
- BFSG: Accessibility for websites, apps, e-tickets and real-time travel information in air transport.
- Regulation (EC) No 261/2004: Information on passenger rights in the event of delay and cancellation.
- Art. 32 GDPR: Protection of passenger and payment data.
- PSD2: Strong customer authentication for online payments.
What we check during every maintenance
- Entry point to booking and check-in works
- Language versions and currencies correct
- Notices on disruptions and passenger rights can be updated quickly
- CDN and caching for load peaks
- Accessibility unchanged after updates
- Careers portal and applications
| Requirement | Why it matters | How we implement it |
|---|---|---|
| Booking entry point | Every disruption directly costs bookings | Functional tests after every update |
| Accessibility | Legal obligation under the BFSG | Checks of contrast, keyboard operation and forms |
| Load peaks | Disruptions cause sharply rising traffic | CDN, caching and monitoring |
| Multilingualism | International customers | Verification of all language versions |

Price based on effort
On request
A charter operator with a compact web presence and a scheduled airline with a booking entry point, crew portal and eight language versions have little in common. We calculate based on actual scope rather than a flat rate.
Request a quoteWhat determines the effort
Number of language versions and brands, interfaces to booking and check-in systems, traffic volume and load peaks during disruptions, requirements for availability and response times.

Request a free consultationThe WordPress site and its interface, yes. After every update, we test whether the handover to the booking system works, and we report disruptions to the respective service provider.
No. We check all language versions, the language switching and the hreflang markup, especially after updates to translation plugins.
Yes. Updates can be scheduled in fixed, low-traffic time windows and announced in advance. We test major version jumps beforehand in a staging environment.
In that case we calculate per website and agree common maintenance windows and a combined report for the group.
