SIA taps SITA for mobile app improvement

Passengers can now access range of digital magazines through SIA mobile app.

Singapore Airlines passengers will now be able to get free digital magazines on their devices.

Now being assisted by the communications and IT solutions provider SITA, SIA offers access to free reading materials available to passengers before, during, and after the flight through its official mobile app.

More than supporting the airline's efforts to provide a better passenger experience, the new tech is expected to boost initiatives by SIA to go green and reduce paper production and handling.

SITA said the airline industry loads up to 100,000kg of newspapers and magazines every day with no certainty that they will be read, not to mention the cost in supplying and disposing of the reading materials.

At the same time, 65% of passengers have said they would access entertainment services on their own device whilst 46% would watch a movie on-board using mobile devices.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
