Latest Innovations in the Airlines’ Battle to Win Passengers

LONDON - A new passenger flight information system that provides a simulated view
from the pilot’s seat is just one of the innovative products being launched
at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2009, which takes place from 31st March to 2nd
April 2009 at the Hamburg Messe in Germany.

The Lufthansa Technik Niceview moving map system provides worldwide, high
resolution 3-D maps and virtual flights designed to create the ultimate
flight information and viewing experience for passengers. It integrates the
latest flight simulation technology and authentic satellite maps so that
passengers feel they are experiencing the view from a window or from inside
the cockpit.

The global airline industry is reconciling the drive to reduce its costs
and carbon footprint with the continuing need to enhance the passenger
experience. The design, fixtures and facilities of passenger cabins are
crucial components of this battle, hence the development of B/E Aerospace’s
Super First Class seating. The company will be hosting an exclusive VIP
viewing of its Oasis modular Super First Class (SFC) Suite as well as two
versions of its High-Density SFC Suite designs. Designed to fit all wide body
aircraft, the Oasis modular suite allows airlines the flexibility of choosing
what level of exclusivity and privacy they want to offer first class
travellers - from an ‘open-concept’ to a ‘high-privacy’ environment.

Recognising the tough economic climate for airlines, Airbus will be
focusing on the importance of achieving greater efficiency from current and
future cabins, backed up by displays relating to the aircraft manufacturer’s
main product families - including the A320, A350 and A380. The A320 Family
Enhanced Cabin offers a quieter cabin, designed with a more modern look and
feel, including better luggage stowage and is available as a weight-reducing
retrofit. Meanwhile, the A350 display will focus on the modular design of the
cabin platform and in particular the efficient integration of galleys and
lavatories.
