Digital Impact on Aviation – Part 3

Wider Choice of Goods and Personalised Services

Flight upgrades can now be done using the automated check-in kiosks. In-flight meal choices can be made when booking flights online.

In-flight entertainment consists of an increasing array of channels providing audio, video and gaming to suit diverse interests. On a typical Virgin Atlantic flight, this digital entertainment provision can be likened to a mini cable TV facility with multiple choices with the different genre.

For passengers who are keen aviation hobbyists, there is even the opportunity to listen to air traffic communications as well as real-time data and interactive maps relating to the flight.

In-flight shopping now includes products that are not physically available on a flight, but which can be delivered to any address in the world.

Frequent-flyer and mileage programmes offer an assortment of goods and services to gain more points, working through a network of partners and relationships.

Swifter Processing and Reporting

Baggage handling systems have become more sophisticated at many airports, including Heathrow airport’s Terminal 5 baggage handling facility, which uses complex software to route and screen baggage.

Scanners for scrutinising carry-on baggage as well as body scanners, have led to faster processing and better security reporting.

The Immigration posts in many international airports, through the use of biometrics, has streamlined the admission process into a country, as well as helped to allay fears relating to fake documentation.

From the forgoing, it is clear that the digital world has had a significant postive impact on the world of aviation. In my next and final article on aviation, I will look at the negative aspects of the digital impact on aviation.
