DESCRIPTION

On-board connectivity continues apace, as the new ‘in-flight must-have’ for both passengers and crew. As it becomes the default expectation for next generation travelers, tablets and mobile devices in the air will impact passenger service levels and customer satisfaction as much as they are on the ground. From an operational point of view, what are the IT needs for the cabin, cockpit and data handling to ground? What innovations can we expect, and how do we see the development of new services for keeping customers happy and loyal? www.sita.aero/surveys A revolution in the air – improving the flying experience: David Stewart, ICF International

E-enabled opportunities

Page 7: A revolution in the air: David Stewart, ICF International

ICF International | icfi.com © ICF 2014 7

New technologies will drive greater operational efficiency and facilitate better schedule reliability and enhanced services for the passenger

AIRCRAFT AND CREW OPERATIONS IMPLICATIONS

Functionalities affected by new technologies

Flight Management

Inter-operability. EFB, connectivity and data analytics

Impacting ATM, fuel and operational efficiencies

Operations Control Passenger Service

To protect aircraft and schedule integrity…

By coordinating flight, crews, passenger, maintenance and ground operations

Data exchange and analytics enable better on- and off-board decision making

Information management and data analytics

Impacting connection management and enabling improved service opportunities on- and off-board

Significant utilization, operations, cost and on-board service benefits

Page 8: A revolution in the air: David Stewart, ICF International

ICF International | icfi.com © ICF 2014 8

E-enabled technologies in maintenance will additionally reduce costs and facilitate better schedule reliability for passengers

Functionalities affected by new technologies

Line maintenance

17 % of airline MRO spend

Handheld devices being introduced

Significant time savings by providing mechanics access to information at the aircraft

Maintenance planning Health management

Supply chain management

Technical document management

30% of MRO systems are legacy

New aircraft types drive adoption of new systems

Mobile technology, electronic task cards and xml will improve updates of- and interaction between systems

Traditionally used for ex-post reliability diagnostics

Advances in data generation and analytics will enable prognostics and predictive maintenance

Provides design feedback for OEMs

MRO supply chain holds $47B of inventory

More EDI and RFID technology, automation and visibility/traceability can decrease work in progress, increase pooling and increase inventory utilization

Widespread use of services that scan paper records and make them available

ETL/EFB, cloud services and mobile devices will change generation, handling and storage of technical records

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE IMPLICATIONS

A key issue for resolution: who owns the data?

Page 9: A revolution in the air: David Stewart, ICF International

ICF International | icfi.com © ICF 2014 9

Opportunities exist to improve passenger experience significantlyCABIN AND PASSENGER IMPLICATIONS

THE FUTURE IFE?

Seamless experience from ticketing to arrival

Easy to use systems, consistent with experience elsewhere

Use of (tablet) device at all times

Security

Access to early release content?

Power/re-charging availability

“Airlines will no longer be hardware providers, rather connectivity providers”

Page 10: A revolution in the air: David Stewart, ICF International

ICF International | icfi.com © ICF 2014 10

What else does the future hold?CABIN AND PASSENGER IMPLICATIONS

Cabin environment control?

Lighting controls

Attendant call & drinks/ meal pre-orders and requests

Customized content & entertainment

VOIP or GSM calling

Shopping experience

Reliable, capable and affordable IP connectivity to ground throughout flight will be critical

Page 11: A revolution in the air: David Stewart, ICF International

ICF International | icfi.com © ICF 2014 11

The challenge to airlines and equipment suppliers is to keep up with passenger expectations

CABIN AND PASSENGER IMPLICATIONS

Expectation of being constantly engaged

and connected

Expectation of faster and more

reliable connection speeds

Expectation of the “latest and

greatest”

Expectation of affordability and value
