It’s time to take a look back at the whys and wherefores of Passenger experience and some of the dalliances of the aviation world in Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond
Continuing the series “Walking around Birmingham”, we come to the outside of the Selfridges Building at The Bullring with its “hubcaps” or dots on the outside.
News I didn’t cover:
- Airbus at 50 – Airbus hits 50 years old. Congratulation to the organisation.
- IATA AGM – In Progress, with interesting titbits sneaking out. More to come from this I suspect
Passenger Experience
- Royal Jordanian chooses BlueBox for Wireless IFE – BlueBox score another win with their Wireless IFE server
- Gogo to launch a 5G Air to Ground Service in 2021 – With 5G networks launching, Aviation 5G could offer a new experience on the Air-to-Ground connectivity model
- ANA boosts Premium Class seats on domestic flights with a new product – Safran and Toyota Boshku taking the wins
New Aircraft News
- Air New Zealand opts for the Boeing 787-10 – with the side news being the airline opting for GEnx engines over Rolls Royce Trent Engines.
Offers
- Ethiad Business Class deals live – and still live for a day or so more.
Rail
- CDG Express Delayed until late 2025 – If you’re surprised about a major rail project being delayed by now….
Storage Box Project
- Let’s build a new Drobo 5N2 – Its time I put my new Drobo together and make it do storage things.
Pretty Pictures
Next week
I’m still hunting for my summer escape fare to put a smile on my face, as well as hunting out the latest on passenger experience, new orders and any oddities I can find along the way.
Until we catch up again – take care!
