If LS:N Global made... an airport

28 : 12 : 2015 Airports : Retail Experience : Travel Experience

London – LS:N Global’s airport would let passengers zone out, take them on retail journeys, move sustainability up the agenda, and smooth the flow of human and air traffic.

Passenger flow through check-in and security would be eased using BLIP System passenger tracking, and those queuing would be amused by competing for upgrades on a gaming app such as the one trialled by Air France. Taking inspiration from Narita International airport, our low-cost carriers wouldn’t suffer in the style stakes thanks to a well-designed zone for cheap airlines

After security, passengers could chill in Zoned-out Spaces or with pre-flight yoga. Tax-free luxury shoppers would experience Explorium journeys, while beauty fans could address in-flight and holiday beauty concerns, following recommendations from diagnostic devices

Dining options would allow people to make ethical choices while following their individual dietary demands. Waste cuisinevegan delicatessensuperfoods and well-sourced meats would all be on offer. Bars would reflect local style and serve locally crafted drinks, including Tipsy Tea cocktails, coffee alternatives and detox options such as non-alcoholic spirit Seedlip.

Carbon offset bars would enable passengers to donate to eco-projects, also accessible via a check-in app with flight emissions details. Sensitive lighting and air quality would transform waiting areas at gates to optimise pre-flight wellbeing.

Air traffic control would reduce holding patterns as, according to a study by NATS, this would cut CO2 emitted during take-off and landing by up to 10%. The entire place would run on green energy, as instigated by the chief environmental officer, who would sit on the board.

If LS:N Global made… 2015 is a series of reports reflecting the LS:N Global team’s pick of the best innovations of the year, and those that will be most relevant for consumers in the coming year.
