And the day to put them into practice is very near…
Improvements are always inevitable to make people’s lives easier and more convenient, and this is especially true for the aviation sector. There are ideas that fail, there are things that have been realized, and the ideas below, if successfully applied, will create a real revolution in the field of aviation.
1. Biometric identification eliminates cumbersome procedures at the airport
This idea has been applied by SITA airline at a number of airports in the United States. Employees here will be equipped with compact identification devices such as smart watches and smart glasses with cameras, all of which are synchronized to the customer’s database. In the not too distant future, they will only need a few seconds to look at you to collect all necessary information, from your passport, boarding pass, flight number, seat number on the plane… In addition to simplification check-in process at the airport, this is also a step forward for them to be able to provide you with all other services on the flight, without spending too much time accessing the central data like now. now.
2. Optimized cabins according to customer needs.
More than just business class, first class, or economy class as before, airlines will now find ways to optimize your flight time. It could be an auditorium for important meetings, or a grand musical performance, or it could also be a virtual reality space that helps you really have completely new experiences. 30 hours on a flight will no longer be an endless amount of time, but most likely, it will be an extremely memorable and enjoyable time for you.
3. Use social media to choose who sits next to you on the flight
This is really the era of social networks – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram… And like any other business, airlines cannot ignore the preeminent advantage of a huge network of connections. this giant. KLM is perhaps one of the pioneers, as they offer their customers “Meet & Seat” software, which allows passengers to share various types of social networks with each other. It even gives you the opportunity to choose who will sit next to you, based on general interactions about friends, or interests. The flight will certainly be much more pleasant, if you have a partner next to you with whom you can share a joke or a few.
4. Member discount price
OneGo is one of the startups at the forefront of this idea. No more struggling to hunt for cheap tickets, instead, this airline allows you to book unlimited tickets, for a fee of 2,950 USD / month. Choosing a time and place for you is now as simple as turning on the remote to select a TV channel, and this is especially meaningful for those who have to travel a lot on the plane.
5. Alternative energy aircraft
Alternative energy will almost completely eliminate the fuel cost of a flight, and thereby make the price of a flight so cheap. With support from NASA, Boeing is rushing to bring this idea to life under the name of the SUGAR Volt project. This project will use electric systems – similar to the concept of electric vehicles. Not only is it a cost saving project, this project will also contribute to reducing a significant amount of polluting emissions.
