The company is a leader in its niche, IT systems for the management of on board sales for the airline and transport industry. Based in Allerød, north of Copenhagen, Dataflight has SAS and Singapore Airlines among its customers.

DataFlight was seriously affected by the recession within global aviation but, according to IATA, the number of flight passengers grew 15.4% in the first four months of 2004, which creates excellent prospects for Dataflight’s products.

According to Kenneth Ek, leader of Canon's European Business Development, besides the general increase in the number of passengers, the low-price companies are expanding. For these companies there is a great potential in the sale of products such as headphones, food, drinks and tax-free goods during the flight. For this purpose they need a terminal and here the small Danish company has a very strong platform," states.
