Ink Publishing adds to its European Portfolio with Runway, a groundbreaking inflight magazine for SkyEurope

Ink Publishing has been appointed to publish SkyEurope’s new inflight magazine.

With content produced in English and German and excerpts in Slovak and Czech, the first issue of Runway will be onboard planes as of the 1st of November, 2007.

Runway will cater to the tastes of hip, savvy, style-conscious travellers and will reflect the young, dynamic and unique personality of SkyEurope by establishing itself as the authority on fashion and shopping across Europe.

With a strong fashion focus as well as a travel and lifestyle slant, Runway will live up to its tagline: “fly with style.” Creative elements will include beautiful fashion shoots on location, vibrant, trend-led fashion pages, lively product pages (fashion items plus gadgets, books, CDs etc.) and Q&As with fashionistas and models as well as fresh and engaging travel, lifestyle and fashion features. Runway will prove that style is not a matter of money!

Dominique Afacan, Editor, said: “Runway will have its finger firmly on the fashion pulse with up-to-theminute trend coverage, fantastic fashion shoots, and to-die-for products. Your wardrobe will never be the same again”.

SkyEurope offers a superior passenger experience to its competitors. Freshly brewed coffee and delicious food is served inflight and you might even see a catwalk show onboard the flights! 60% of passengers are leisure traveler aged between 25-45, and tend to fly for the airline’s competitive prices and attractive destinations. The remaining 40% of passengers fly mainly for business and choose SkyEurope based on destinations and the frequency of flights.

Karim Makhlouf, Chief Commercial Officer of SkyEurope, said: “With our new stylish in-flight magazine I want to underline our new positioning as a Business and Lifestyle Airline differentiating ourselves from the other airlines. Runway is a new trendy magazine which combines the needs of travelling, lifestyle and fashion.”

Mark Duke, Trading Director at Ink said: “SkyEurope flies to exciting European markets. We are looking forward to producing an outstanding title for SkyEurope that will provide real value to advertisers looking to get their message in front of their massive audience of urban and sophisticated business and leisure travellers. As the vast majority of passengers are aged between 25-45, advertising in Runway will be an extremely effective way to target this highly desirable demographic with laser focus, meaning little to no advertising wastage.”
