Qatar Airways has announced its plans to début its new ultra-modern Airbus A350-1000 on the Singapore & Haneda flight routes. The new aircraft will be fitted with the airline's award-winning Qsuite business suites. A350-1000 services on flights to Singapore will commence with effect from November 1, 2018. Services on Tokyo Haneda route will commence with effect from January 1, 2019.
The Airbus A350-1000 will gradually replace the airline's A350-900 on its triple-daily flights to Singapore; the airline is planning to make the route to be an all A350-1000 route by April 2019.
The Qatar Airbus A350-1000 flights will feature 46 Qsuite Business Class seats and 281 Economy Class seats. Qsuite Business class seats feature adjustable panels and movable TV monitors that can be adjusted to convert 4 adjacent seats into a private cabin. The Qsuite also feature the industry's first double beds.
A press release issued by the airline announcing the launch stated, "Similar to the A350-900 – for which Qatar Airways was also the global launch customer – the high-performance A350-1000 boasts an advanced airframe with extensive use of composite materials. Coupled with a fuselage innovatively built with carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, the jetliner burns lesser fuel, reducing harmful effects to the environment. On the inside, LED mood lighting mimics a natural sunrise and sunset to help reduce the effects of jet lag."
In the press release, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive, Qatar Airways said, "We are tremendously excited to bring the world’s most technologically advanced passenger aircraft fitted with revolutionary Qsuite Business Class experience to our loyal customers in Singapore and Tokyo. The launch of the A350-1000 on these routes is a fulfilment of the promise we make to our passengers to provide them the finest experience available in the skies. We are confident that our A350-1000 flights and Qsuite cabins will be highly sought after, and look forward to bringing them to even more gateways throughout the Far East."

Lufthansa Airlines has announced the launch of a new Taxi-sharing service, mytaximatch, in collaboration with mytaxi. The new service will enable passengers travelling from Munich Airport to the city centre to share taxis and save up to 50 % on the taxi fare. The fare would be dependent on the route and traffic.
Passengers can avail the service through the mytaxi app. Choosing the Match option enables passengers to be paired up with travellers to similar or neighbouring destinations and makes it possible for them to split the fare. There will be a baggage limit for up to two pieces of baggage to ensure a comfortable ride. The taxis will depart from the Taxi Rank at Terminal 2 of the Munich Airport.
A press release issued by Lufthansa stated, "At the end of each person’s route, the app calculates their individual price. This will never exceed EUR 49 in total, even if no suitable ride-sharer has been found. Even in the case of finding "no match", passengers still benefit from the price guarantee."
Commenting on the launch, Gleb Tritus, Managing Director of the Lufthansa Innovation Hub stated, "Our goal is to extend the first-class experience that we offer travellers on Lufthansa flights along the entire travel chain. This also means creating a digital and seamless connection to the diverse range of mobility options available on the ground. mytaximatch is proving to be an innovative addition to Munich Airport's mobility portfolio. The new service appeals in particular to those passengers who would probably otherwise not have decided to take a taxi."
mytaximatch service will be launched at Munich Airport with effect from September 19, 2018 for an initial test phase of 3 months. Lufthansa customers will receive all the information they need concerning the new service exclusively via the Lufthansa app and will be redirected straight to the mytaxi service. During the three-month test phase, Miles & More will be giving users a credit of 150 Premium Miles per matched journey – an attractive additional offer for all users who are already collecting miles with mytaxi and Miles & More.

"The AR hand baggage check has been added to the existing functionalities of the KLM App, including up-to-date flight information, booking a flight, checking in online, downloading boarding passes or reserving specific seats.

KLM is also one of a group of leading companies that use Apple’s Augmented Reality-technology to provide customer services in the KLM App.
Commenting on the launch, Pieter Groeneveld, Senior Vice-President - Digital, Air France - KLM said, "By harnessing the potential of AR, KLM is taking the next step in terms of digital service provision. With the AR hand baggage check, passengers can now see at a glance whether their hand baggage is the correct size. By offering this service, we are placing the needs of our customers first. We also continue to be pioneers of innovation in our passengers’ best interests."
A press release issued by the airline announcing the launch stated, "The KLM App has already been downloaded millions of times and has more than 100,000 active users each day. No fewer than 70% of the app users are logged in permanently and use the KLM app several times a month. The app’s features are designed to enhance overall comfort before, during and after the trip."
"The AR hand baggage check has been added to the existing functionalities of the KLM App, including up-to-date flight information, booking a flight, checking in online, downloading boarding passes or reserving specific seats. The app was also recently launched in the Airport Map, a digital map of no less than 24 different airports enabling passengers to find their way around quickly. With “Milestones”, passengers can use the KLM App to find out all sorts of useful information and tips with respect to their personal KLM flight history. Should a flight from Schiphol be significantly delayed, users also have the option of activating a digital snack or meal voucher. What’s more, the app even makes it possible for you to rebook your flight yourself," the press release continued.

Delta Air Lines has announced its plans to launch the first biometric terminal in the USA. The terminal, Terminal F, will be launched at the Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal (Terminal F) in Atlanta in collaboration with the Customs & Border Protections, TSA, and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Services at the new biometric terminal will commence late this year.
Following the launch, passengers scheduled to fly from the terminal direct to an international destination will have the option of using facial recognition technology from curb to gate, transforming the customer journey with a seamless travel experience through the airport.
A press release issued by the airline announcing the launch stated, "This optional, end-to-end Delta Biometrics experience includes using facial recognition technology to:
The technology is not limited to Delta passengers; passengers scheduled to fly from Terminal F on partner airlines Aeromexico, Air France-KLM or Virgin Atlantic Airways will also be eligible to use this technology.
Commenting on the impending launch, Gil West, COO, Delta said, "Launching the first biometric terminal in the U.S. at the world’s busiest airport means we’re bringing the future of flying to customers travelling around the globe. Customers have an expectation that experiences along their journey are easy and happen seamlessly — that’s what we’re aiming for by launching this technology across airport touch points."
The facial recognition technology will save time, enable faster boarding and will provide Delta employees an opportunity to have more meaningful interactions with customers throughout the journey.
The press release also gave an overview of how the technology will work.
The press release stated, "Customers flying direct to an international destination from Atlanta’s Terminal F wanting to use this option simply:
"Also at ATL Terminal F, customers can take advantage of industry-leading Computed Tomography (CT) scanners at two automated screening lanes, which are being installed in partnership with the TSA and the airport. This means travellers won’t have to take out electronics from their bags at the TSA checkpoint, further enabling a smooth travel experience," the press release continued.
Delta Air Line has tested optional facial recognition boarding at ATL, Detroit Metropolitan Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport over the past several years. The airline recently tested a self-service biometric bag drop at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport for international customers and biometric boarding at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Optional biometric check-in have already been launched for all domestic Delta Sky Clubs.

- Enter their passport information when prompted during online check-in.
- Forgot to enter passport information in advance? Don’t worry — this option will be available at the terminal after an initial passport scan and verification.
- Click “Look” on the screen at the kiosk in the lobby, or approach the camera at the counter in the lobby, the TSA checkpoint or when boarding at the gate.
- Breeze through once the green check mark flashes on the screen.
- travellers will need to have their passports available and should always bring their passports when they travel internationally for use at other touch points during their trip.
- And, if customers do not want to participate, they just proceed normally, as they’ve always done, through the airport."

IHG has announced the launch of IHG Business Edge corporate program for Small & Mid-size Enterprises. The program enables SMEs to monitor essential travel data including hotel spend, room nights, average daily rate, savings and IHG Rewards Club participation over the previous 12 months through a single customer portal.
A press release issued by IHG stated, "Prior to launch, 1,500 companies have already signed up as members, eager to benefit from a program designed to streamline the negotiation process, reward loyalty, and consolidate data, content and booking into one easily accessible customer portal."
"IHG Business Edge has been in development for the past year, and was built based on the insights of 2,100 global SME customers, and then piloted with 300 companies across 17 countries. Through this process, the companies made it clear they wanted to benefit from some of the competitive advantages traditionally enjoyed by large enterprise customers, and were looking for a partner that understood small business and could provide them with meaningful resources and content that they couldn't get on their own," the press release continued.
Commenting on the launch, Derek DeCross, SVP, Global Sales, IHG said, "We knew that there was an unmet need for a travel buying program specifically designed for SMEs – a group of customers who can often be under-served by the industry. We worked together with SMEs to design the program and they told us that a discount program alone is not compelling enough to drive their loyalty and engagement. They didn’t want lengthy negotiations - but rather a rich discount they could count on, reliable reporting and insight into the latest information, as well as access to a diverse corporate network of other 'similar' organizations."
The IHG Business Edge program is open to SMEs (companies with less than 250 employees) with up to $50 million in revenue and an annual IHG expenditure of minimum $5,000. Eligible SMEs can avail discounted rates at participating hotels across IHG’s portfolio of more than 5,400 properties across 15 brands, including InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts and Kimpton® Hotels & Restaurants. Participating travellers also enjoy the benefits of IHG® Rewards Club Gold Elite status after completing their first stay.
