FlightPath3D Launches Sunset View: A Cinematic Map Experience Born in Private Aviation
Crafted for heads of state and private jet owners—now bringing quiet luxury to commercial cabins worldwide.
[Lake Forest, California, September 8, 2025] – FlightPath3D, the leader in immersive inflight maps, today announced that its newest feature, Sunset View, is now available across its global commercial airline customer base.
Originally crafted for VVIP travelers—heads of state, private jet owners, and elite flyers—Sunset View delivers a cinematic map experience that brings elegance, serenity, and emotional resonance to the inflight journey. With this launch, FlightPath3D continues its mission to make world-class aviation experiences accessible to every passenger, on every screen.
“With the cinematic-style immersion of Sunset View, we are once again expanding the luxury inflight experience from Gulfstreams to gates,” said FlightPath3D President Duncan Jackson. “We believe the inflight map should be part of the journey—breathtaking and cinematic, elevating every moment in the air. We built these views for the most discerning of flyers and we’re proud to now offer the ultimate experience to millions more.”
A Moment of Calm in the Clouds
Sunset View transports passengers to the precise location on Earth where the sun is setting. The map reorients and zooms to reveal a sweeping horizon bathed in gold, tracing the sun’s slow descent along the curve of the Earth. The cinematic, meditative perspective invites travelers to pause, explore, and quietly watch as day turns to night in real time. Sunset View offers a rare, emotional connection to the planet below, and a moment of serenity at 35,000 feet.
Proven in Private Jets, Redefining Commercial Cabins
For the past decade FlightPath3D has designed bespoke experiences for heads of state, celebrities, and CEOs where the experience is personalized, precision is non-negotiable, and compromise is never an option. Those same principles guide the adaptation of its premium map offerings to the commercial aviation market.
Sunset View is the latest in a family of features that first launched in private aviation and are now scaled and tailored for commercial deployment. Among them is Flying Over Places, powered by a curated database of over 100,000 points of interest. It dynamically highlights landmarks, historic sites, natural wonders, and cultural icons—guiding passengers through a rich, uncluttered exploration of the world as it passes beneath them.
Another is Aircraft 360, a hyper-detailed 3D rendering of the aircraft’s exterior, tailored to the exact model, livery, engines, and even antennas. Originally developed for private jet owners who take pride in every detail of their aircraft, it now brings that same level of precision to commercial fleets allowing passengers to rotate, zoom, and admire the plane they’re flying on.
These features reflect FlightPath3D’s broader commitment: taking what was once bespoke and making it universally available, without sacrificing precision or polish.
Ubiquitous Access, Increased Engagement on the Horizon
With AI-driven personalization through the Luci Flight Companion and a fully cloud-delivered platform that can stream to any device, FlightPath3D continues to deliver the tools that shape the next era of inflight engagement and infotainment.
Because what a CEO enjoys at 45,000 feet should delight a family at 35,000.
