Updated On-Flight Dating Apps

The AirDates App Now Includes Social Media Integration

— December 6, 2016 — Tech
Although the AirDates app has been in planning for quite some time, it was only recently that the in-flight dating service has undergone some serious improvements.

As Engadget reports, its creators have come to compare it to Tinder. It has a lot of similarities to the popular hook-up app, including the use of geo-location, which allows travelers to find someone they have a mutual interest in right on their flight. While some might find the concept of the AirDates app a little intimidating, being that they can't exactly escape a terrible date when they're stuck in a confined space with the person, the CEO believes the opposite.

As Michael Richard claims, a plane is the "safest place to have a date" because users are surrounded by people and are in a controlled environment. In addition, the AirDates app will now allow users to connect their Facebook, Pinterest and Spotify, ensuring that they'll have at least a few topics in common before they match with another user.
Trend Themes
1. In-flight Dating Apps - The trend of in-flight dating apps offers an opportunity for developers to create innovative platforms that connect travelers with shared interests during their flights.
2. Geo-location Dating - The use of geo-location technology in dating apps presents an opportunity for developers to create platforms that enable users to find potential matches based on their physical location, such as on a flight.
3. Integration of Social Media - The integration of social media platforms like Facebook, Pinterest, and Spotify in dating apps allows users to find common interests and facilitate more meaningful connections.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tourism - The travel and tourism industry can leverage in-flight dating apps to enhance the travel experience and provide a unique and enjoyable social networking platform for air travelers.
2. Mobile App Development - The mobile app development industry can capitalize on the trend of in-flight dating apps by creating innovative platforms that integrate geo-location technology and social media integration.
3. Online Dating - The online dating industry can explore the integration of geo-location technology and social media in their platforms to enhance user experiences and increase the chances of meaningful connections.
