Seven start-ups to look out for at Aviation Festival Asia: Customer experience
Aviation Festival Asia gathers together industry giants, start-ups, and everyone in between to drive innovation in the aviation industry. The event is an opportunity for start-ups to get noticed and for influential industry players to forge business partnerships in the Asia Region.
In aviation, the customer’s journey begins far before arriving at the airport. From simplifying the process of inquiry resolution, to ensuring passenger comfort on the plane, these seven start-ups are helping to improve the overall experience along an extended customer journey.
1. Chaise Longue Economy Seat
The Chaise Longue Economy Seat aims to implement a new age of travel presented by COVID-19. With greater comfort, sustainable seats, and more customer satisfaction, the Chaise Longue is the economy class seat of the future. The uniqueness of our seat design is that the vertical volume inside the cabin is used to create more space and accommodate passengers more efficiently. Providing passengers with bigger recline angles, more legroom and more overall space are just some of the benefits of the Chaise Longue Economy Seat design. Leading publications such as CNN, Forbes and Simpleflying have also covered our new innovation.

4. FareUpThere
The FareUpThere platform helps airlines improve customer experience, by more accurately identifying rifts in the customer journey.
With the FareUpThere API and SDK, users opt-in to location tracking, and answer short one-question surveys sent out via push notifications throughout their trip. We then gamify the experience, by allowing the user to earn achievements and rewards for each answer.
Once our SDK is dropped into an airline’s existing app, it replaces post-flight email surveys and delivers customer feedback at much higher rates.
