The Challenge
How to Enhance Airline Passenger Experience
Flightpath3D offers a very innovative 3D moving map application in its IFE solution. What is actually a moving map? It’s the map that every passenger can display to see the aircraft flight path and the plane’s location.
According to a study quoted by Duncan Jackson, President of Flightpath3D, over 67% of the passengers visit the map at least once. On average, passengers visit at least seven points per flight.
One of the levers chosen by Flightpath3D is to enhance passenger experience by enriching the moving map app with high quality cartographic backdrop. The target is to offer passengers highly realistic and attractive views of all overflown areas.
