Marseille Provence Airport Website - http://www.marseille.aeroport.fr/
After a public call for tenders, the Marseille Provence Airport chose Novactive for the remodeling of the website www.marseille.aeroport.fr.
This ambitious project consisted of the data and webservices integration from many various providers and platforms: Digitick for the bus tickets, Magento e-commerce platform for the parking subscriptions, queue cut, access to the VIP salon, SIA files for the flights’ schedule in real time, Liligo platform for trips, etc
Novactive also developed many specific extensions. First, the Agency put into place, on the Airport website, a faceted search engine for the trips suggested. This engine allows to refine its search by destination (zone>country>city), by beginning date, by theme. For each criteria selection, new data are loaded automatically.
Then, in order to manage exceptional events able to provoke a peak of unforeseen traffic on the website (example: in 2011, high traffic on the website caused by the eruption of the Icelandic volcano), the Airport can block the website and put online an informative website with some useful links. This crisis website can be activated and edited in few minutes directly from the back-office.

Novactive developed a mobile version of the website and works now on iPhone and Android mobile applications.
