TOKYO- Illustrating the adaptable nature of its Blueview digital passenger services platform, Bluebox has disclosed its collaboration with AirJapan (NQ), the novel airline brand under ANA HOLDINGS.
This partnership involves implementing the platform’s onboard retail and in-flight entertainment (IFE) components across AirJapan’s widebody aircraft fleet.
Set to commence flight operations in February 2024 and gradually expand its network. AirJapan is targeting medium-haul routes within the Asian region.
AirJapan Bluebox Partnership
Through the Blueview onboard retail solution, travelers will be empowered to utilize their personal devices for placing orders from AirJapan’s food and beverage menu as well as its retail inventory.
Facilitated by the Bluebox Wow portable wireless system, Blueview will simultaneously deliver an immersive IFE experience, enabling passengers to stream content on their individual devices.
The assortment of IFE content will be meticulously tailored to match the specific markets served by AirJapan.
“Ever since the introduction of our new brand, our primary focus has been on our ‘Fly Thoughtful’ concept. This novel service offers our passengers the liberty to make purchases at their convenience, right from the comfort of their seats and the familiarity of their own devices,” stated Hideki Mineguchi, the President of Air Japan.
“This addition is part of our ongoing effort to enhance our offerings since the launch of our brand, reflecting our innovative ethos. It is designed to ensure that our passengers enjoy an exceptional flying experience with us once we commence operations.”
“We are delighted to be assisting AirJapan in facilitating guest-driven order-to-seat and IFE services through Blueview – both enabling and entertaining passengers during their flight,” remarked Kevin Clark, the CEO of Bluebox.
“Our commitment lies in delivering the most adaptable solution available in the market, encompassing the numerous advantages of a digital in-flight experience for passengers across all cabins, as well as operators with varied business models and route networks.”
Award Winning Blueview Platform
Recognized with the PAX Tech Readership Award for Technology in 2023, Blueview stands as a software platform offering a two-fold approach.
Firstly, it furnishes a browser-based portal enabling passengers to access diverse digital services while onboard, including onboard retail and in-flight entertainment.
Secondly, it encompasses the underlying functionality responsible for guaranteeing the secure delivery of content, integration of third-party apps, content management, and comprehensive analytics.
This platform forms a digital ecosystem that empowers airlines to engage and captivate passengers during their flights, simultaneously generating supplementary revenue for the airline.
Bluebox Wow serves as a valuable tool for airlines, allowing swift and cost-efficient implementation of digital services for passengers.
This acclaimed hardware facilitates the wireless transmission of the Blueview digital services platform to passengers’ devices within any cabin of an aircraft. Compact in size, akin to a lunchbox, Bluebox Wow is lightweight and can be conveniently stored in overhead lockers.
It offers scalability and presents itself in both a portable battery-operated variation and a certified configuration equipped with a built-in partition, aircraft power, and additional features such as the ability to pause public announcements.
