GuestLogix, a provider of on-board retail technology and solutions to the airline industry, has announced that WestJet Airlines has selected its Mobile Virtual Store solution for on-board sales on its domestic and international flights.

The WestJet deal adds potentially another 15 million passenger trips annually to the GuestLogix platform which includes proprietary handheld point-of-sale (POS) devices and integrated software services.

Our solution can contribute to their customer service levels as well as their bottom line in the face of rising operating costs."
