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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
