EY introduces ‘Mapped-Out’

Etihad Airways has launched a new online mapping tool developed in co-operation with professional network LinkedIn, making it easier to message new contacts, arrange meetings and be more productive while travelling.

The ‘Etihad Mapped-Out’ tool is available at www.etihadmappedout.com and lets professionals on LinkedIn search their connections by geographical location and see them displayed on a map, making it easier to connect with contacts as they travel.

LinkedIn members can enter search parameters based on:

• Geographical area, which can be countrywide or even a specific city;
• Industries of interest; and
• First- and/or second-degree connections.

The result of the search is a personalised map of the member’s LinkedIn connections, with a listing of business contacts within the region. Members can also reach their contacts instantly by sending messages directly from the contact list.

The Etihad Mapped-Out tool is available exclusively to members of LinkedIn.  The tool also allows users to superimpose an Etihad route map, displaying all its passenger destinations.
