BOOKABLE LUGGAGE SPACE
One of the many examples of
comprehensive solutions at Diehl is
the ‘Bookable Bin‘, an innovation that
enhances the pre-boarding experience for
passengers long before they even reach
the airport, and enables every passenger
to reserve the luggage space they require.
The Bookable Bin also takes pressure
off cabin crew, as they would no longer
have to waste time trying to find more
stowage space and can use that time to
concentrate on more important tasks. In
addition to this the cabin crew are also
alerted about the boarding process, free
space, potential damage and even whether
or not the luggage bins are securely closed.
This data is transferred automatically
via an interface to the relevant MRO
provider at the destination airport, so
that any potential problems can be
addressed as early as possible, and
solutions made ready and waiting in
time for the aircraft landing.
The Bookable Bin is just the beginning.
In the future, users will be able to create
their own individual profiles. An app
on their phones or tablets will allow
passengers to select their meals, drinks,
and entertainments packages in advance,
specify their language and lighting of
choice, and even the most direct route
to their seats or the best route to take
at their destination airport.
This extensive connectivity also
supports the crews in their daily routines.
Using a corresponding interface they are
able to not only meet all of the passengers’
individual requirements, but also see the
status of various devices, armrest and
seatback positions, tray tables, safety
belts, water tanks, soap dispensers, and so
on. For example, if one passenger’s safety
belt isn’t correctly inserted or the seatback
is not upright on take-off or landing, a
sensor will send a signal to the crew’s
end device so they are able to rectify the
situation immediately.
Another interface informs the MRO
provider at the airport of the status of
individual devices, components and
monuments. This means they receive
