All airlines want to make more money, but a challenge for them is how to turn transactions on board, often in a variety of currencies, into settled and recorded cash in the bank.
This is something we discuss in the new issue of Aircraft Cabin Management, alongside features on the role of AI in the cabin as well a rundown of the functions of different payment systems and an overview of Diehl’s CANSAS management system.
There’s more to the issue than making money though. Alex Preston explores the serious issue of ‘thermal runaway’, better known as laptop battery fires, and examines new devices to suppress the blazes.
We also look at the issue of catering for airline and airport staff out of ours, plus ask the head of the Green Cabin Alliance if ‘circularity’ can ever be more than a buzzword. There’s also a fist look around the newly-refitted British airways A380.
I hope you enjoy the issue.
