4. Danube, Vienna

Google Glass Trails in Copenhagen Airport

Copenhagen Airport has trialled a new Google Glass app developed by SITA.


In the first such initiative by any airport in the world, Copenhagen equipped its passenger service staff with the wearable technology, providing them with details about passengers and airport operations.

And according to both SITA and the airport, the trials were largely successful.

“The feedback from our passengers and service team has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Marie-Louise Lotz, Copenhagen Airport’s director of customer care.


“We found Google Glass very easy to use and more user-friendly than other devices such as tablets. We can reduce the amount of paper our duty managers need to carry to give great customer service, such as duty rosters, desk allocation sheets, peak prognosis, passenger numbers and cruise arrivals. And because the devices are hands-free, our managers are not focusing on a screen and can engage better with our passengers.”


The team also noted that having access to services like Google Translate and gate, baggage or flight information helped them improve dialogue with passengers.

Speaking at the Air Transport IT Summit in Brussels, Jim Peters, SITA’s chief technology officer, said; “The killer benefit is that this technology is hands-free and enables a new way of working. At Copenhagen Airport we have seen real benefits for both passengers and service staff. From an operational point of view, the ease of adoption and the user-friendliness of the Glass devices are great – it only takes a day for staff to familiarise themselves with the new equipment.”

British Airways to Sports Entertain Travellers

British Airways is planning to entertain travelers with sports and arts this summer showing special highlights of the football from Brazil, tennis Wimbledon championships and Formula 1 motor-racing events around the world, as well as playing host at the Isle of Wight Festival.



Football fans travelling with several of the British Airways long-haul flights in June and July may tune in to the highlights from Brazil during the final stages of the tournament, and weekly during the group stages.

Tennis fans will be able to enjoy highlights of Wimbledon, when London’s famous tennis championship returns on June 23 until July 6.

Racing fans will also be able to tune in to special highlights shows following the British Grand Prix and the German Grand Prix in July.

The acts, selected by British Airways, represent some of the short-haul destinations that the airline flies to from London Gatwick, bringing together artists from Spain, France, Italy, and Croatia – as well as from the UK – to the festival.

Colm Lacy, British Airways’ head of commercial at Gatwick, said: ‘We have many loyal customers attending the Isle of Wight festival who fly with us each year, and the #BAmusic stage will give them the chance to see and enjoy exciting new talent from destinations across our network.
