New Airbus app allows A380 passengers to design own experiences
Airbus has launched a new iflyA380 iOS app that takes advantage of Apple’s latest technology, in a bid to open the doors of its A380 aircraft to more passengers worldwide.
The app enhances Airbus’s existing iflyA380.com booking assistant with more choices, features and content and new possibilities to interact with the A380, including taking a sneak peek at the cockpit.
Customers today increasingly expect to design their own experiences, and the app gives them the power to do so, the aircraft-maker said, adding that booking flights and staying updated with real-time notifications is just the beginning.
Travellers will also enjoy a wide range of exclusive innovative services linked to the A380, including the option to explore destinations based on geolocation and personal interests and cabin discovery in virtual reality.
They will also enjoy a connected and immersive in-flight experience based on an augmented-reality feature.
Marc Fontaine, Airbus’s digital transformation officer, said the iflyA380 app was a new step for Airbus towards offering digital services that directly benefited consumers and allowed them to design their own experiences.
With the new app, Airbus is set to make the passengers’ favourite flying experience even more memorable, from travel inspiration to their final destination, he added.
