The next step for airlines | Sadiq Gillani | TEDxBerlin

[@eboulter]

For someone who has such an impressive CV, his public speaking skills leave a lot to be desired. I also find the idea of granting airlines so much access to one's data quite frightening.

[@tareqayub3739]

Great insights about how the airline industry is innovating. Every touch point in the passenger's journey map is transforming because they (consumers) are in control and forcing change - Demands for connected experiences in pre-travel, travel, and post-travel phases (ecommerce, airport, aircraft, etc.) are already stressing operational capabilities (irregular handling, bags, networks, equipment types, etc.). Airlines will modernize these while pivoting around the experience that needs to be delivered. Great stuff and great era.

Great insight into the travel experience of the future!! I can't wait for this to arrive, flying today can be such a pain. It's great that TED is able to attract such high calibre speakers!

[@JVIazRamen]

Sounds a lot like simple ideas that have come up by someone who isn't even in the aviation industry.

[@konohaarchive9185]

He's got considerable experience in aviation and works in the upper echelons of Lufthansa.

[@JVIazRamen]

+The Eye He still could talk more about realizing his plans, instead of planning the future.

By the way - the colour-changing blanket story was British Airways and is totally untrue,

[@candiceoulabsir-simonin5702]

I am fond of aviation, innovation & technology but unfortunately I do not see the positive side of the future of aviation in this video. I think it's a shame because there is a lot to do, a lot to improve but to me it did sound a bit like this : pax give me your data and I'll control your flying experience.

[@jeremyclark3880]

WHat a nightmare scenario this guy portrays. I have never heard such nonsense. Who seriously leaves the house, drives to the airport, parks, goes in, stands looking at the departures board saying "hmm where would I like to go?". Who wants to be bombarded with advertising and "special offers" every 3 seconds on the basis of a ticket you booked? This is the horrible world where everyone is walking around staring at their "apps", bumping into my trolley. As for this "RDFI" world . . . i just sent my 83 year old mother to Germany on the plane. In his world, she would have not even left the house!

What an advanced way of useless thinking, for financially advantaged group of people

[@ThePoonky]

Pilot less flying on a commercial plane, no thank you! Otherwise some great ideas and inputs.

[@jacquesconnard]

Pilotless aircraft will never happen. It is already possible now. But, flying passengers in an airplane without any pilots... no!

[@ZipTieGuyItRhymes]

Jaques Connard I disagree someday it could in the future...they probably said that about cars too. Drones already flying sorties pilots use to...we are on our last manned jets [F35] 6th gen. If we can carry out missions why not change the mission to transportation of equipment or troops? we've had autopilot for years...

[@نادرالیراحمان]

@@ZipTieGuyItRhymes That is different. Flying a plane with people at such high speeds requires someone to monitor the system.

[@amaurisfumagalli1160]

WELL its 2018! U tell me

[@Dekho_Pakistan]

we need speaker less TedX.

[@KesariyaVilayti]

:-)

[@anergiz]

Boring and sadly nothing new.

[@MishelFayad]

Too much "in the future"!

[@nikobelic4251]

So this guy thinks airlines will become glorified Uber
