FlightPath3D has added new features to its moving map with FlightPath3D Cloud, which leverages a Software as a Service (SAAS) architecture on the ground to ensure a consistent experience for passengers, across any device and at any point throughout the travel journey.
Launching at Aircraft Interiors Expo this week in Hamburg, FlightPath3D Cloud brings a fully featured moving map experience to personal devices and seatback screens, using an on-board server or an available inflight connectivity link. Leveraging data provided by FlightAware, the system also brings new features to the flight tracking experience, such as arrival gate and baggage information.
This new system builds on the cloud infrastructure in place for FlightPath3D’s WhereWeFly route map product , currently live on Heathrow, Philadelphia and other major airport websites, to deliver a common passenger experience across a travel journey, not just in the sky.
Ground-based experiences, such as the airline website or app, can now display the same data as a seat-back screen in an aircraft, retaining all airline-specific branding and customisation. Gate displays and other airport touchpoints can render the same content passengers stream on their personal devices. Transitioning between airline-managed and personal devices or enabling a multi-screen experience can be handled via cues such as a QR code.
Airlines can also now extend the destination discovery experience pre- and post-flight. By serving up flight details, as well as information about the destination and locations along the route, airlines can enable real-time upsells and partner booking options for experiences on the ground.
Loyalty programmes can also be integrated, enabling personalised content, rewards and exclusive offers to be shown via the map interface. This can be extended with the Luci Flight Companion, allowing airlines to include targeted marketing offers alongside route and destination details.
“FlightPath3D Cloud revolutionises travel by offering instant deployment, accessible both inflight and through airline digital platforms like apps and websites,” stated Duncan Jackson, president of FlightPath3D. “It extends the journey, enriching every phase from pre-flight planning to post-flight exploration with features like live arrival gate and baggage updates, all delivered through our immersive, customisable interface.”
FlightPath3D is displaying the Cloud solution at Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany this week (Booth #4D60).
