Japan Airlines’ onboard connectivity service has gone live on selected 767-300ERs and 787-8s this week, as the carrier continues the rollout of Wi-Fi.

The leisure carrier has just a matter of weeks to decide which connectivity solution to invest in – a decision that could have a major impact on future operations.

FTE spoke to STG Aerospace to find out why aircraft cabin lighting solutions are now higher up airlines’ lists of priorities than ever before.

Air Astana has introduced an Economy Sleeper Class, which combines three economy class seats and includes a mattress, pillow, duvet and amenity kit.

Icelandair has introduced its new Hekla Aurora aircraft, which is inspired by the Aurora Borealis and features a one-of-a-kind onboard lighting display.

Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) will offer more than 350 in-flight entertainment channels from February 2015 – 40% more than in March 2014.

Following extensive travel during the festive season, the FTE team offers some thoughts on how airlines can improve the onboard experience in 2015.

Alaska Airlines has partnered with Gogo to offer wireless in-flight entertainment, which is already available on 50 of its 737s.

Virgin America has become the first airline to offer Gogo’s ATG-4 Wi-Fi service across its entire fleet of 53 Airbus A320 Family aircraft.

The first A350 XWB has been delivered to Qatar Airways and includes a number of features that will help improve Business and Economy class experiences.

Luxury onboard apartments, Big Data and self-scaling onboard Wi-Fi all feature on this year’s 10 most popular ‘Up in the Air’ stories. Find out what else made the list.

One year after closing its merger with US Airways, American Airlines is looking ahead to 2015 and beyond with more than $2 billion in investments, which will include fully lie-flat seats, international WiFi, and more inflight entertainment options.

Air France and Orange will offer Wi-Fi access onboard two Airbus A320s on short and medium-haul networks during a three-month trial phase, from summer 2015. This will allow passengers to surf the internet, read their emails, watch live TV, or enjoy their favourite series.

Japan Airlines’ new B787-8 has been equipped with the Thales AVANT in-flight entertainment system, making it the first airline in Asia to carry the state-of-the-art technology.

Artefact’s Mike Lemmon explores how airlines can deliver meaningful innovations in economy class and how we can restore a sense of wonder to air travel.

Brett Proud, President & CEO of GuestLogix, discusses onboard merchandising, NFC, personalisation, data protection and the commercial relevance of BYOD.
