Alitalia has revealed extensive upgrades to all cabin classes, covering IFE, connectivity, the meal service and the level of personalisation offered onboard.

easyJet is investing in a raft of new technologies to improve its operations, and among them is 3D printing, which will be used to replace parts like arm rests.

Gogo has received the first of two Supplemental Type Certificates from the FAA, which are required for it to be able to launch its 2Ku connectivity service.

Air New Zealand’s Kerry Reeves explains why the carrier will bide its time before offering onboard Wi-Fi, and why “personal interaction” is the number one priority.

The wide-reaching improvements include new Business Class seats, enhanced in-flight entertainment and more overhead stowage space for cabin bags.

JetBlue has partnered with Amazon to allow Amazon Prime members to stream content via their own device using the carrier’s free Fly-Fi service.

ANA has partnered with Panasonic Avionics to offer three live TV channels and Wi-Fi onboard its first 787-9, which will serve the Tokyo-Munich route.

American Airlines is installing its Gogo Vision-powered IFE streaming service on a further 200 A319s, A320s and A321s, and offering free movies for a limited time.

WestJet has revealed plans to improve its Plus product, which is mainly targeted at business travellers, by enhancing comfort and the in-flight meal service.
All Nippon Airways (ANA) has teamed up with Toyota Boshoku Corporation to develop a new economy class seat, which will be rolled out in June 2015.
AirFi Boxes will be installed on nine aircraft and in the gate areas at various airports to offer Arkefly’s passengers a “fully connected experience”.
Finnair has equipped its flight attendants with tablets, which can be used to process onboard F&B and retail purchases and payments.
Emirates has unveiled new, redesigned headsets, which will be introduced from the end of June on all A380s and Boeing 777s to improve audio quality.

FTE takes a look at how Airbus’ 11-abreast A380 seating, Boeing’s future cabin vision, and the latest products from Jamco and STG could impact passenger comfort.

We explore the Panasonic and B/E Aerospace ‘Jazz’ IFE/seat concept, Lumexis’ iPAX system, Thales’ immersive seat and a selection of other standout IFE solutions.

FTE takes a closer look at the latest launches from the likes of Gogo, Rockwell Collins, Thales, Inmarsat, Honeywell, ViaSat and GEE.
