food for thoughts ...

How to preserve the relationships and links between passengers and cabin crew with these new technologies?

Are on-board screens still essential for accessing services when all passengers are equipped with their personal devices?

How do you ensure flexibility in the user experience on a product with long-term investments?

How to improve the user experience in a hyper-codified environment?
