Airline by the Numbers | Airline Stats for 2022
2022 Highlights | Summary
1. $100 Million Transactions on airlinehyd.com
Reaching this milestone was only possible with our internal website team's knowledge and skill.
Todd Schnirel, Airline's Director of Business Development & Agility, adds:
"In 2022, our internal website team continued to enrich the information about our products, including images, technical specifications, features, and documentation. The team created substitute recommendations for discontinued or long lead time parts and the "Notify Me" button to request emails when parts become available.
Also, the order look-up and tracking can be done from the header on any page with or without logging in. Additionally, the improved "My Account" section with shopping lists, previous orders, customer part numbers, previous quotes, and so much more. And lastly, the enhanced search features to find the parts you need faster."
