# Visionary Modern Airlines This Airline of the Future is App-Connected and Offers "Cinema Class" By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-10-07 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airline-of-the-future References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2015/10/airline-of-the-future-poppi-membership-travel-trends.html) & [teague](http://www.teague.com/thinking/perspectives/poppi-the-airline-of-the-future) [Poppi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poppi-world) invites flyers to imagine the airline of the future: cinema class, in-flight vending machines and middle seats with brand-sponsored gifts. The design team at Teague came up with what they believe will be an aviation reality in just a short decade. The design agency is centered around noting that complacent industries, like airlines, will quickly be taken out by more innovative competitors. The Poppi airline of the future would be app-connected -- pinging flyers' phones when their sections are boarding, providing online chats for seat swapping or ticket re-sales and monitoring digitally-connected baggage. Making comparisons to industries like hotel and taxi businesses, Teague notes that similar consumer-focused companies like [Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exclusive-digital-promotions-partner) and [Airbnb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-3) will enter the market and dominate because they no longer underachieve and overcharge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Market](https://www.trendhunter.com/market) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **App-connected Airlines:** Opportunity to create app-connected airlines that offer convenience and personalized services to flyers. - **Cinema Class:** Opportunity to disrupt the airline industry by introducing a luxury in-flight experience similar to cinema class. - **Digitally-connected Baggage:** Opportunity to develop digitally-connected baggage systems that provide real-time tracking and monitoring for flyers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Aviation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to revolutionize the airline industry through app connectivity and luxury experiences. - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for hotel and accommodation companies to enter the airline market by offering personalized services and unique in-flight experiences. - **Logistics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for logistics companies to develop advanced baggage tracking and monitoring systems for airlines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized In-Flight Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-airlines-kinective-media.md) - [Premium Commercial Airlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnifica-air.md) - [Revamped Airline Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finnair.md) - [Retro-Inspired Airline Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pan-am-journeys-by-private-air.md) - [Consolidated Air Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-travel-apps.md) - [Private Class Air Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnifica-airmagnifica-air.md) - [Bespoke Air Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bespoke-air-travel-app.md) - [Newly Optimized Airbuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newly-optimized-airbus.md) - [Elevated Airline Seating Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delta-cabin-interiors.md)
