Platform And Device Disruption Is New Normal and Innovation Is The Answer

Written By Jamie Urban

Apps today and especially maps need to run on all your aircraft, passenger devices and ground systems. Providing a consistent passenger experience across multiple aircraft types, which may be equipped with different systems, is becoming ever more important for airlines as they continue to elevate their brand and differentiate their inflight service from the competition.

The new norm is to design and deploy apps that are available as an:

  • Android, iOS or Linux app

  • Streamable web service or API

  • Widget to embed in other applications

“We scaled our map to over 100 million devices by delivering it an Android, iOS or Linux app as well as streaming it as a web service in other applications”

– Duncan Jackson, President @ FlightPath3D
